The following extracts are from two different letters, a letter making a com plaint and

a letter of reply, but they have got mixed up. Put them in the right order to produce

two correct letters.

When o ne o f my guests arrived the

waiter sat her at the wrong lable.

Later, the same waiter spilt a few

drops of red wine on another

guest's trousers. The final embar

rassment was when the waiter presented the bill to one of my guests

instead of me.

As a toke n o f our regret I enclose a

vouchcr for an evening meal for

two people and hope to welcome

you personally in the near future.

I am writing to com plain abou t the

service I recently received in your

restau rant while on a business trip.

Yours sincerely

Restaurant Manager

Dear Sir/Madam

I had invited four clients to join

me for lunch in your restaurant,

where I had expected to receive

the best service. Unfortunately. I

have a num ber o f complaints.

I am afraid that we were experi

encing staffing problems during

this period and had an inexperi

enced waiter working in the

restaurant. He has since left and

we are happy to say that we now

have only fully qualified waiters

serving o ur customers.

I feel that this is not the profes

sional service which I expect from

a top restaurant and I know that

you will wish to ensure that it does

not happen again.

Dear M r Strang

I was very sorry to read of the

 problems which you experienced in

ou r resta uran t on yo ur recent visit.

 Letter o f complaint: 6. 3. 7. I,

Dear Sir/Madam

I am writing lo complain about

ihc service I recently received in

your restauranl while on a busi

ness trip.

I had invited four clients to

 join me for lunch in your restau

rant, where I had expectcd to

rcccive the best service. Unfortu

nately. I have a number of com

 plaints.

When one of my guests

arrived the waiter sat her at thewrong table. Laler. the same

waller spilt a fcv. drops of red

wine on another guest’s trousers.

The final embarrassment was

when the waiter presented the

 bill to one of my guests instead

of me.

This is not (he professional

service which I expect from a

top restaurant and I know that

you will wish to ensure that it

docs not happen again.

Yours faithfully

Raymond Strang

Sales Manager 

lette r o f reply: 10, 11, 8, 2, 4

Dear Mr Strang

I was very sorry to read of the

 problems which you experienced

in our restaurant on your reccntvisit

I am afraid that we were expe

riencing staffing problems dur

ing this period and had an

incxpcrienced waiter working

in the restaurant. Hr has since

left and we arc happy to saythat we now have only fully

qualified waiters serving our

customers.

As a token of our regret I

enclose a voucher for an eveningmeal for two people and hope to

welcome you personally in the

near future.

Yours sinccrcly

Pierre Lanccl

Restaurant Manager
