request letter and email.
Dear Sir / Madam:

I am writing in (1)………….with the hotel accommodation at the Star Heights Hotel, Cebu City,
Philippines, which I booked through your Queen's Road office on 3 January.

I regret to (2)…………….you that the information given by your sales assistant, Mr Terence Chan, was
completely misleading.

I was particularly concerned that the hotel should be in a quiet location and close to a beach, as we have
small children who cannot walk long distances. When I (3)…………..this point with Mr Chan, he told me
that the hotel was situated in private gardens and was very close to the beach. I was extremely
disappointed, therefore, to (4)…………..that the hotel was in fact next to a busy motorway and the beach
was nearly three miles away.

I also asked Mr. Chan whether there was a swimming pool, and he (5)………….me that there was. In
fact, he was particularly certain about this point as he claimed to have stayed at the hotel himself the
previous year. You might imagine my feelings to find that the swimming pool was in a state of disrepair
and, according to the hotel staff, had been in this condition for the past three years.

(6)……………., we were unable to swim at all during our stay at the hotel, while the constant noise from
the motorway made sleep at nights difficult. In fact, we were eventually forced to find (7)
………………….accommodation elsewhere at considerable expense.
In the circumstances, I think that it would be (8)……………for you to refund the cost of the hotel
accommodation in full.
I (9)………………..hearing from you at your earliest convenience.
(10)…………………,
