Dear Sir,
I ordered a mobile phone with order number 034179 on 09.06.2020 and the
order was confirmed by the vendor on 11.06.2020.It was agreed that the cellphone
would be delivered by 15.06.2020 but I have not received it even today. Your delivery service leaves much to be desired. Your staff could not respond satisfactorily to my. queries when I rang you courier service up.
Can you reply to this letter as soon as possible with the delivery date and any
update ?
Yours faithfully,
