　　Dear Sir or Madam, 

　　It was somewhat irritating to find that the English-Chinese dictionary you sent to me on Dec. 13th, 2009 was totally unacceptable。

　　The dictionary was a great disappointment, for when it arrived, it was far behind the date you promised to send it to me. Besides, the wrappings looked worn and dirty. And more surprisingly, when I opened the dictionary, I found more than 20 pages of it missing (p.123 to p. 136)。

　　I'd be grateful if you could send me a replacement and refund my postage (state amount)。

　　I really appreciate your help。

　　Yours faithfully,

　　Dear Sir,

　　I regret to inform you that I am really displeased with your luggage service. I was a passenger of Flight AC 2882 from Beijing to Paris. On arrival, I went to the luggage area to claim my suitcase, and to my great surprise, my suitcase was lost. I felt much frustrated because it contained not just my personal belongings but also some very important business documents。

　　It is a large brown suitcase of 80/50/30cm, in which I kept my clothes, a laptop and some very important business contracts, etc.。

　　I shall be obliged if you will look into this occurrence immediately。

　　Yours,

　　Li Ming
