Dear Sir,
On the 13th
of this month I went to your restaurant with my family. Unfortunately, the
service was bad, and the waiter made a joke about my new dress. I am very disappointed,
because the check included a “special service charge” of 25 percent.
I would appreciate it if you could refund this charge. Enclosed is a copy of the check and my
credit card receipt. I look forward to your reply and a resolution to this problem, and will wait
until the end of this month before seeking help from a consumer protection agency.
Sincerely,
