A letter practice: You have a problem with a piece of equipment
You work at home and have a problem with a piece of equipment that you use for your job.
Write a letter to the shop or company which supplied the equipment.

- describe the problem with the equipment
- explain how this problem is affecting your work
- say what you want the shop or company to do
--------------------------------
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing this letter in regards to expressing my dissatisfaction with the laser printer that I have just bought at your store last week.
I am working at home and I am a writer, I need a personal printer to print my works then send them to the press. In another word, I make my living on this. You guys told me that this is the best model and recommended me to buy it, I adopted the suggestion and hoped that it would be much better than my previous outdated one. Unfortunately, paper is often stuck in this new printer that I really cannot use it for my job.
Now I have to drive 20 minutes to a printing store to have my articles printed, which wastes me a lot of time and money. Because my printer is still within the warranty period and I do not want to drive another 2 hours to your store, so please send someone to my house and switch a brand new one for me. I will appreciate it.
Finally, I would like to thank you for reading this letter, hope to hear from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Zhuang.

You guys (too informal) Your employee told me that this is the best model and recommended me to I buy it, I adopted/accepted the suggestion and hoped that it would be much better than my previous outdated one. Unfortunately, paper is often gets stuck/jammed in this new printer so that I really cannot use it for my job.
