Complaint letter - cheque book
Dear Sir,
I am writing this letter because I am completely disappointed with your services.
Two weeks ago, I ordered a new cheque book. I went to the bank and I talked with Sir. Sanches, the little one with long blond hairs. He told me that in five days you will have your new cheque book in your house. But fifteen days later and nothing at all. Due do, I ask you how much longer I will have to wait for it and what will you do to solve the problem?
I really need that, I have plans waiting for it.
I will be waiting for your answering for all of this as soon as possible, can I count on you?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully.
Sr. Paulo

Complaint letter - cheque book *spelling alert - this looks great to me because I'm british but if you were in America I think you would need to write "check book"*
Dear Sir,I am writing this letter because I am completely [or extremely] disappointed with your services.
Two weeks ago, I ordered a new cheque book. I went to the bank and I talked with Mr* Sanches, the little one [this sounds mildly insulting - I would say something like "a man of short stature" which is a bit formal, but if you need to describe someone's physical appearance it's probably best to be careful!] with long blond hair. He told me that in five days I would have my new cheque book in my house [or "he told me the new cheque book would be delivered to my house within five days"]. But it is now fifteen days later and nothing at all has happened. Therefore, I ask you how much longer I will have to wait for it and what will you do to solve the problem?
I really need it, I have plans waiting for it.
I will be waiting for your answer [or "reply"] to this letter as soon as possible. Can I count on you?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully.
Sr. Paulo [I'm not sure what the Sr stands for here - senhor? I would usually use a full name with no title - Paulo Coelho ou seja o que for ]
*It's OK to use "Sir" on its own when addressing someone with higher social status - for example, "Can I help you sir" or "Please sir, may I have another" but you wouldn't use it with a name unless that person was a knight "Sir Gawain was on a quest to find the Holy Grail" or "Sir Michael Marmot is a professor of Epidemiology". In this case, Mr Sanches is probably not a knight, so he's just a plain old Mister
