I‘m writing to thank you for those two wonderful days in Beijing. I will always remember this visit. Before I arrived, I was a little anxious. I didn‘t know what to expect.

The visits to the Great Wall, the Imperial Palace and the Summer Palace were unforgettable. It was very kind of you to do all this for me and I appreciate it more than I can say.

Yours sincerely,

对待投诉信,卖主应该采取谨慎的态度。接收到投诉信后,首先应调查核实情况是否属实,然后再根据实际情况做出相应合理的答复。切不可在事实不清的情况下,断然否认对方的投诉,更不可对来信采取轻视、无礼的态度。

如果经调查确认来函内容是与事实相符的,那就应礼貌地答复并承认错误,并表示会尽快采取纠正措施。答复信件简洁为宜,澄清事实并说明处理办法即可。
