To Customer Service,





I am writing to you about a last-minute delay in a
flight I took with your airline last week. I was supposed to Sydney
from Beijing on
December 14 and come back on January 28. The first part of the trip was fine,
but there was a problem on the way home. After I checked in, spent all the
Australian dollars I had left in the airport duty-free shops and went to the
boarding lounge, I was told I would have to spend a night in Brunei on the way
home. This was really inconvenient for me and also for my company because I was
scheduled to start work the next day. Since your airline was to blame for this
problem, I think you really should give me something to make up for it.
Actually, I think it would be fair if you gave me a free return ticket to <st1:country-region w:st="on">Australia. I’ve
written my contact details at the top of the page. By the way, could you please
deal with this quickly? Thanks.





Regards,


Tony Yu

Dear Sir or Madam,





I am writing with regard to an unexpected delay in a
flight I took with your airline recently.





I was initially booked to leave Beijing for Sydney on
the 14th of December and return on the 28th of January. The first leg of the
journey was uneventful enough. However, on arrival in the boarding lounge at Kingsford
Smith Airport, I was informed that my return flight would be delayed by 14
hours and that I would have to spend one night in Brunei on my way back to
Taiwan.





This caused considerable inconvenience, not only to me
but also to my employers; as I was due to commence work again the following
day. In fact, it almost cost me my job. Given the fact that this foul-up
occurred at such short notice and was entirely the fault of your airline, I feel
that compensation in the form of a complimentary ticket of the same distance
would be warranted. I can be contacted at the address supplied.





A swift response would be greatly appreciated.








Yours faithfully,


Tony Yu

To Whom It May Concern,[formal opening; you have to
use an informal opening for informal letter , like Dear friends]

I am writing in

order to express my heartfelt

appreciation for all the cards, flowers, phone calls and
visits I have received since my accident.

The concern you have all shown has been moving

. I
also wish to

inform

you that my condition has

vastly

improved, despite the

agony

that my daily physiotherapy exercises still cause me.

The doctor seems
confident that I will be able to return home in the very near future. Were I
able to do so, I would check out immediately as I am finding the

monotony of daytime television

unbearable

. Hospitals can be incredibly boring places,

particularly when one is

confined to bed with one’s leg suspended in a sling

. Although I

frequently

express my

displeasure

at how busy
we

constantly

for
my job and am

eagerly

anticipating

my
return to work. I trust you are all in good health.
Thank you once again for your care and consideration. I look forward to seeing
you all soon.

Yours

faithfully,

Dear friends,





Thank you all so much for your cards, flowers,
phone calls and visits since my accident. Your care and
concern mean a lot to me. I’m feeling
much better today, although the exercises I have to do are really painful. The
doctor says I can probably go home in a few days’ time.
To tell the truth, I’d
check out today if I could – I’m already sick to death of daytime TV. Hospitals
can be such boring places, especially when your leg is hanging in a sling and you can’t leave your
bed. I know I always complain about how
busy we are with overtime and meetings and everything,
but now I realize how much I actually enjoy my job. I just want to get back on
my feet and back to work as soon as I can. Anyway,
I hope you are all well. Thanks again and I hope to see you all very soon.








Regards,


Ivan

A: IELTS Band 5+ (too formal)





Dear Mr. Mason,





This letter concerns your upcoming visit to Beijing. I trust that
preparations are progressing without hindrance. Based on past experience, I
presume that you have yet to begin packing. I am eagerly anticipating your
visit and have already conducted all the preparations necessary for you to make
use of my guest room. Unfortunately, though, it will no longer be possible for
me to be present for your arrival at 11:45 as I had initially planned since I
will be required to attend a meeting that morning. If you have no objection to
waiting it may be possible for me to reach the airport by approximately 13:30.
If such a delay would be unacceptable to you, however, I will make arrangements
for my secretary to meet you at the airport and accompany you to my residence.
Kindly provide instructions in this regard prior to your departure and, as
always, do not hesitate to contact me at the address and phone number provided
should you require any further assistance.





Yours faithfully,


Zhu,Chen Yi

Dear Jason,





I hope you’re well and preparations for your visit to Beijing are going
smoothly. If I know you, you probably haven’t even started packing yet. I’m
really looking forward to seeing you again and have already prepared the guest
room for you. I have some bad news though – I will not be able to meet you at
the airport when you arrive at 11:45 as I had originally planned.
Unfortunately, I have to go to a meeting on the morning you get here, but if
you don’t mind waiting I could probably make it by about 13:30. If that doesn’t
suit you, I could send my secretary to meet you instead. Anyway, please let me
know which you prefer sometime before you leave. Well, I guess that’s about all
I needed to say. You’ve got my number, so give me a call if there’s anything
else you need to know. Take care of yourself, and I’ll see you when you get
there.





Kind regards,


Chen Yi
