Dear [Company],
On September 4, 2007, I bought a Dell 19” flat-screen LCD color monitor, serial number BQR 5927631, at your store in [City, State], for $319.58.
The product does not function properly; it will not display any picture at all. I am very disappointed.
To resolve the problem, I would appreciate an exchange for an equivalent or better model, at no additional cost, or a refund of the $319.58. Enclosed are copies of relevant documents (the receipt, guarantees, etc.).
I look forward to your reply and to the resolution of my problem. I will wait ten days from the date of this letter before seeking help from a consumer protection agency or the Better Business Bureau. Please contact me by mail, at the above address, or by phone, at [phone number, including area code].
Sincerely,
Your Signature
