Model answer
Dear Sir,
I am writing to complain about the service that I have received at your bank. Two weeks ago I ordered a cheque book by filling out the appropriate form when I visited the bank but since then I have not received the cheque book and I have received no other correspondence from the bank. It is quite urgent for me as I have quite a few bills that I need to pay that can only be paid by cheque.
Please write to me as soon as possible and let me know how much longer I will have to wait for my cheque book and please explain why I have had to wait so long. I would also like to know what action you are going to take regarding this bad service.
I have been a customer of your bank now for fifteen years and this is the first time I have had to complain. It is very disappointing.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Graham Swann
