Model Answer:
Dear Sir or Madam,
The purpose of this letter is to express my dissatisfaction with a purchase from your store last week.

Starting with an outline of the device which is a Sanyo Deluxe blender, and the model is SDB-2000. It is one of your top of the line blenders and it cost $89. I bought a silver one, with black trim.

Moving onto the issue, which is that the blades do not spin properly. At first, everything seemed to work fine but within a day the blender started to shake uncontrollably and there is a strange knocking noise and I can see the blades wobbling.  Immediately called the shop for assistance; however, despite promises to do so, no one has got back to me.

With respect to the remedial steps, I would appreciate it if you would replace my faulty blender for a new one in accordance with the one-year warranty. I have kept the receipt of my purchase, should you need to sight it.

Please contact me and let me know how you intend to resolve this matter.

Yours faithfully,
Sarah Smith
