Dear Mr Cooper,
I work at the Friendship Bookstore on Dongfang Road where you often come to books. The other day when you bought a dictionary at our bookstore I made a mistake about the price. You looked at two different editions of the same dictionary, one costing 30 yuan and the other 21 yuan. You took the 21 yuan. but I accepted 30 yuan from you. I found out my mistake only after you had left. Will you please come to return your dictionary and get a 30 yuan edition instead ? I apologize for this trouble.
