Lesson 4:
Writing a Confirmation Letter
* Work in pairs. Compare a complaint letter with a confirmation letter.
Dear sir,
I’m writing to complain about the work your company did in my house last week. Three men arrived on Monday to paint the inside walls. They used the wrong colour and dropped paint over the carpets. The foreman assured me that they would repaint the walls. However, I went away on business and did not return until Friday. All the walls were still the same colour. I look forward to receiving a check for $300 from you.
Your faithfully,
Le Thanh
Hi, Tan

Cheers
Lam
