Mamooth clock alarm
Brief silly text to practise my writing... an imaginary complaint to an imaginary eBay user:
Dear eBay user parakeet:
I am Francis Baratheon (AKA "mockingbird" on eBay) and I write you about the item "Mamooth clock alarm" that I bought to you two a hundred and seventy five days ago. I have several complaints about this purchase, and they are:
Firstly, the parcel arrived to my home with two hundred and seventy three days of delay. You assured me that would be here in two days, but that was a complete lie.
Secondly, the sound of the alarm is not a mamooth scream as I requested, but a ridiculous cricket sound. I don't like it at all.
Finally, and the most important: the volume of the ridiculous cricket alarm it is not 150 decibels at all. I tested it with my pocket-sound-measurer, and the result was only seven decibel. Another misleading statement of your ad.
So, as a consequence of your lies, I didn't achieve to wake up in time the day I had to take a steamboat to Argentina, because, of course, I din't hear the cricket alarm and I stayed sleeping too much and, when I arrived to the port the only thing I could see from the steamboat was its fume over the horizon.
Therefore, I ask you for a refund of 7.500$: 15$ for the faulty clock and 7.485$ for the ticket of the travel I lost because your fraud.
Waiting to hear for you soon,
Francis.

Firstly First, ('Firstly' is ok, but 'first' sounds better) the parcel arrived to at my home with two hundred and seventy three days of delay. You assured me that it would be here in two days, but that was a complete lie.
Secondly Second,('Second' sounds better) the sound of the alarm is not a mammoth scream as I requested, but a ridiculous cricket sound. I don't like it at all.
Finally, and the most important: the volume of the ridiculous cricket alarm it is not 150 decibels at all. I tested it with my pocket-sound-measurer, and the result was only seven decibels. Another misleading statement of your ad.

I stayed sleeping too much slept in and when I arrived to at the port the only thing I could see from the steamboat was its fume over the horizon.
Therefore, I ask you for a refund of $7.500:$22.485: (this figure here is wrong. Because you have a ":" after it, it should be the sum of the following amounts and should be $15+$7.485) $15 for the faulty clock and $7.485 for the ticket of the travel I lost because of your fraud.
Waiting to hear from you soon,
Francis.
