范文:
Dear Manager,
I venture to write to complain about the quality of the iPhone I bought last Friday at your store. I hope I can have a good solution to the problem facing me.
During the five days when the iPhone has been in my possession, problems of software have emerged one after another. For one thing, the screen is always black, making the iPhone no difference from a traditional one. For another, the battery is distressing as it supports the iPhone’s operation for only two hours. Therefore, I wish to exchange it for another one or declare a refund.
I will appreciate it if my problem receives due attention.

2) stating that you would prefer a single room and
3) explaining your reasons.

范文
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to inform you that I wish to move into a new room next term. I would prefer a single room, as I find the present sharing arrangement inconvenient.
I must explain that the reason for my dissatisfaction is my roommate’s inconsiderate behavior. For one thing, his friends are constantly visiting him; for another, he regularly holds noisy parties. In addition, he sometimes borrows my things without asking me. In these circumstances, I find it difficult to concentrate on my studies, and I am falling behind in my assignments.
I am sure you will agree that the only solution for me is to move into a room of my own, where I will be free from such distractions. Therefore, I would be grateful if you could find a single room for me, preferably not in the same building but as near to the college campus as possible.
