Dear Sir,
I
am writing to express my strong dissatisfaction with the service I have
received from your company. Please find enclosed a camcorder, which I am
returning to you as you have sent me the wrong model.
I
ordered and paid by credit card for, a model C20. however, when I received my
delivery and opened the box, I realized I had been sent the wrong product. I
specifically wanted the C20 model so that I could use my existing
videocassettes, which do not fit the camcorder you have sent.
I
would also like to point out that the camcorder you have sent to me is listed
as being 30 pounds cheaper than the one I ordered. When I received my credit
card statement last week I realized that I had been overcharged by 30 pounds.
I
insist on a full refund for the camcorder. I hope that I will not be forced to
take further action and that this matter will be resolved immediately.
Yours
faithfully,
Henry
T. James
