Complaint letter sample:
COMPLAINT ABOUT FAULTY TELEVISION CABINET PURCHASED AT CABINET WORLD ON 15 DECEMBER 2012
Jane Brown
123 Street
jane@brown.com.au
1 January 2013
Dear Manager,
I am unhappy with the quality of a television cabinet I bought at 5 Street on 15 December and I am writing to seek a replacement.
The cabinet doors do not open and shut properly and the stain on the cabinet is uneven, with one half darker than the other. The cabinet was delivered on 30 December and I noticed this problem as soon as I unpacked it from the box.
The cabinet is not of acceptable quality and does not match the sample cabinet I was shown in store. I would like you to replace it with one of the same quality and finish as the sample and arrange for return of the faulty cabinet at no cost.
I have attached a photocopy of my receipt as proof of purchase.
I would like to have this problem fixed quickly please. If I do not hear from you within 10 days, I will lodge a formal complaint with Consumer Affairs in my state.
You can contact me on 1234 5678 during working hours or after hours on 123 456 789 to discuss this matter further.
Yours sincerely,
Jane Brown
Enclosed: Copy of the receipt for television cabinet

LINGUEE
Linguee (http://www.linguee.es/ )is a web service that provides an online dictionary for a number of language pairs. Linguee incorporates a search engine that provides access to large amounts of bilingual, translated sentence pairs, which come from the World Wide Web. As a translation aid, Linguee therefore differs from machine translation services like Babelfish and is more similar in function to a translation memory.

TELEVISION
This cartoon by Brighty from The Sun is a comment on the the fact that watching TV is not as popular as it used to be, especially at Christmas time. A man suggests watching telly (ie, watching TV or watching the television), but the rest of his family are more interested in other types of screen: the grandmother is using an iPad, the son a laptop, and his wife (or daughter?) a mobile phone.
