Dear Sir,
I am writing to you about my recent stay at your hotel. My wife and I 1 on Saturday,15th May and stayed 2 a week. Although we were 3 well and found the service and your staff(员工) 4 ,there are one or two matters which we feel we 5 bring to your attention.
Firstly, we had hoped for a complete 6 from our busy work lives, and indeed your advertisement(广告) 7 “peace and quiet” and the chance to enjoy ourselves. 8 ,we were surprised to find that repairs are sometimes needed, but is it 9 necessary to start early in the morning?
Secondly, we had hoped to 10 the “wonderful pool.” To our disappointment, we found that this was 11 for the entire period of our stay.
I 12 you do not mind me writing to you 13 these things, but I would be happy 14 you could give me some explanation. As I 15 at the start ,it is a pity when your service is so satisfying in other fields.
I look forward to hearing from your.
Yours faithfully
Mr Hector Bradley
