May 19

Customer Services Office
WorldTravel Limited
25 Cramden Road
London

To Whom It May Concern:
I spent most of the last two days calling your customer service lines in an effort to resolve this situation (see my customer reference number, A802234-202), but I have gotten nowhere.
So, I'm writing in the hopes that this letter will get into the hands of a more effective person. I'm really hoping you can help me.
On Monday, May 16th, I was in the airport checking my baggage for a flight to Amsterdam, and the young man who was helping me - James Strathcona was his name - tore the handle off my suitcase when he was lifting it onto the conveyor belt. I have since inquired as to how much it would cost to fix and was told it would be at least US$45.00. I have enclosed a photocopy of the quote from the repairman.
On principle, I really feel these repairs ought to be paid by WorldTravel, as the damage was done while one of your people was handling my luggage. However, I am being given the run-around by your customer service staff whenever I call. One young man was even so bold as to suggest that the suitcase was probably worn out and ready to break anyway. I assure you that this is not true: I only recently bought the set, and the only reason it was broken was that it was handled with excessive force.
In all other dealings I've had with your company, I have had very positive experiences and I have no wish to fly with another airline.
I look forward to hearing from you soon, and I very much appreciate your help.

Yours faithfully,

Edith Smallwood

In addition to saving you loads of money each month, Secure Siding's signature vinyl siding will add beauty and value to your home-no matter its age. With Secure Siding, you will never feel the same about your abode!

Margaret McCarthy
84 Martins Street
Eglington

Dear Ms. McCarthy,
Thank you for your recent inquiry about PowerGen Electricity. I apologize for not replying sooner. However, we have been having some trouble with our customer address database. This problem has now been resolved and I am pleased to answer your questions.

In your letter, you asked for advice on how to cut your electricity bill. We are aware that our customers want to find the most efficient, yet economical ways to use electricity in their homes. You might be surprised to learn that cutting down on electric costs is easy to do. I am enclosing a chart of the average enegry costs of most major home appliances. All you need to do is look at the chart, work out how many hours you use an item in an average week, then multiply that number by cost per hour. If you do this for each item on the list, you can calculate your monthly charge.

e.g. If you use your washing machine every day for one hour, you will need 17 cents per week. To reduce costs, wait till you have enough clothes for a full load. You could cut as much as 5 cents. This may not sound like much, but imagine reducing the time for every appliance. The total savings will add up. I hope this helps you.

Sincerely,
Aian Bredhurst
