33.4 Possible answer
Dear Sir
I have just returned from a weekend break at The Royal Malvern Hotel and I am writing to
express my dissatisfaction with the food and service provided in your restaurant.
To begin with, there was very little variety in the food and sometimes no choice at all. Secondly,
the service was very slow most of the time and we had to wait half an hour between courses. And
finally, when we complained to the head waiter about these delays, he was very rude and the
service did not improve.
I sincerely hope that immediate action will be taken to improve this situation, and IJ shall expect a
letter of apology and explanation for this very poor standard of service in a hotel with such a fine
reputation.
Yours faithfully
