Dear Mr. Smith,

            I am writing to complain about the sprouts I bought from your shop last week. I came into your shop on Tuesday morning and bought 500g of fresh sprouts with a sell by date of 11.10.16 which, as you know, is next week.

When I tried to cook the sprouts, I found they were rotten inside. I had peeled the sprouts and cooked them with chestnuts. It was not until I tried to eat them that I found they were rotten.

This was disappointing, as I had nothing else to eat. Following the disappointment I was forced to go out and buy other food. As it was late at night the choice of shops was not very good and I had to settle for a tin of soup. I would like a full refund. I paid in cash and I enclose the receipt. Please contact me at the above address if you need to me come into the shop to pick up the refund, other please send me a cheque.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Miss. F. Gardener.

Example 3

 

Hurricane Matthew slams into Haiti with winds of 145mph!

 

	One of the most powerful Atlantic hurricanes in recent years has ripped into the south coast of Haiti and the Dominican Republic, damaging homes with winds of 145mph. Heavy rain and strong gusts tore roofs from buildings and caused widespread flooding to towns as the waves battered the coastline. Around 10,000 people have fled to shelters for safety while southern coastal areas have been cut off from the rest of the country after the bridge linking the area collapsed. There have been reports of overcrowded hospitals and shortages of fresh water with officials in the southern coastal town of Les Cayes describing the scene as "catastrophic".   Matthew became a furious Category Five hurricane late on Friday, but has since dropped to a Category Three. The storm has been making its way steadily through the Caribbean, where many islands are on alert with people being told to stock up on supplies.

				Islanders stocking up on food supplies.
			Officials said that about 1,300 emergency shelters have been constructed, enough to accommodate 340,000 people, with residents being told to move to shelters if they live in buildings at risk of collapse. "No turning back now", said Minister of local Government, Desmond Mackenzie, "it is a matter of how long we have to wait this out." Early reports suggest that Cuba has not been hit as hard as Haiti by the storm.   Report by Eliot Evans
