Complaint Dear Sir: I am writing about the dog puppy I bought on your online store yesterday. The package arrived perfectly and in time. But I found some problems: Firstly, the animal, although it seems not to have health problems, is has only two legs. Not four. Also, does not have a tail. Neither lovely puppy ears. Instead of that, it has a grey beak, a lot of feathers, and an extravagant yellow crest. Secondly, it is no brown, as I requested. It's white. I think it is a cockatoo, not a dog. Finally –and the worst: the cockatoo has the unpleasant habit of imitating the sound from a fire truck, specially when I try to converse with someone. If the house is silent, Frederyck (the cockatoo) is quiet, but if I start to talk to someone, in the house or by phone, he starts screaming immediately. Crappy. I begun to write to you looking for a refund but... do you know what? I think I’m going to stay with Frederick. I’m starting to love him. Thank you very much. Yours faithfully, Óscar. PS.: –Hey, say goodbay, Fred! –Cheep cheep, waow-waow, waow-waaaooow! –Good boy!

Complaint

Dear Sir:

I am writing about the dog puppy I bought on your online store yesterday. The package arrived perfectly and on time. But I found some problems:

Firstly, the animal, although it seems not to have health problems, is has only has two legs, not four. Also, it does not have a tail. Nor does it have lovely puppy ears. Instead of that, it has a grey beak, a lot of feathers, and an extravagant yellow crest.

Secondly, it is not brown, as I requested. It's white.
I think it is a cockatoo, not a dog.

Finally –and the worst: The cockatoo has the unpleasant habit of imitating the sound from a fire truck, especially when I try to converse with someone. If the house is silent, Frederyck (the cockatoo) is quiet, but if I start to talk to someone, in the house or by phone, he starts screaming immediately. Crappy.

I began to write to you looking for a refund but... do you know what? I think I’m going to stay with Frederick. I’m starting to love him.

Thank you very much.
Yours faithfully,
Óscar.

PS.:
–Hey, say goodbye, Fred!
–Cheep cheep, waow-waow, waow-waaaooow!
–Good boy!
