To Whom It May Concern,
I am a student with lots of online courses. I’m writing to voice my dissatisfaction with your web service.
To begin with, I regret to inform you that the internet connection, not as promised, is far from satisfactory.Consequently, I could barely catch up with my teacher. What’s more, despite my repetitive complaints, the department concerned seemed to have attached little attention to it.Feeling disappointed, I demand that the issue be solved as soon as possible, or I will resort to the higher authorities.
In the end, I want to express my gratitude for your taking time from your busy schedule to read my letter. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future at your best convenience.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
