Dear Ms. Lee,

 

  • I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to request a refund for my recent purchase of the XYZ Home Speaker System.
  • Upon receiving the product, I noticed that it was not functioning as advertised. Specifically, the Bluetooth connectivity is unreliable, and the sound quality is subpar compared to the product description. Given these issues, I believe I am entitled to a refund.
  • I would greatly appreciate it if you could process a refund to my original method of payment. Enclosed with this letter are copies of my receipt and the product warranty information.
  • Please let me know if you need any additional information or if there are any forms I need to complete. I am more than willing to provide any further details to facilitate this request.

 

Thank you very much for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response.

 

Sincerely,

 

John Doe
