Letter of Complaint


Read this extract from a letter you have recently sent to a friend:
.... Oh, and by the way, don't go to Barry's Restaurant for your birthday. We went there last night - the service was awful and the food was a disaster! I complained to the head waiter but he asked me to put it in writing ...

Write your
 letter of complaint to the restaurant manager. (220-260 words)


Dear {1} Sir or Madam,
I am writing to express my annoyance at {***} {2}your restaurant yesterday. I chose your restarurant to invite three of my important business clients, reading {3} "Best Restaurants in Britain 2000", but the realitiy was far from its recommendation {4}.
First, as stated in the guide book, you have {5} a variety of course {6} meals in {7}the menu. However, only 2 for meat {8} and 1 for fish {9} were on offer yesterday. This deeply dissapointed {10} my guests. Therefore, we chose {***}starter, main dish and dessert à la carte, but it was not very easy. Many were unavailable; e.g. we did not have any other choices {11} than onion soup and seafood salad for{***}starter.
Furthermore, the meals were not served at the same time. About five minutes after a ram{12} steak was put on the table for one of my clients, any of others had not been served yet {13}. Therefore, he had to start alone. I asked your staff to bring all the other meals soon and in another five minutes only two, including my grilled salmon, were brought to us. When the other one, steamed trout, was put on the table, the client who had {14} a ram steak had almost finished.
Finally, the beef steak my client had was overcooked, although he asked for a medium-cooked{***}.
On paying the bill, I complained about this inconvenience to your head waiter, but he asked me to contact you directly in writing{***}. I feel that a refund of at least £200, which is half of our payment {15}, would be appropriate. I look forward to receiving a satisfactory reply within 14 days{***}.
Yours faithfully,
Jane Smith
