Dear Sir,
I'm writing to you for the mobile phone which I buy on 20th August 2016 at Attracting Shopping. Ten days after that, it didn't ring or could it send short messages. Then I reported it to the seller, but was told that the model had been selling out and I had to wait at least three month for a new one. Then I wanted it to repaired, but he said since it was a new model, it was impossible to fixing it without the right spare parts. How disappointing I was by hearing that! How can I wait that long? However, I have to write to you and ask you to have the phone replaced within a week or return me back the money.
I'm looking forward to your early reply!
Sincerely yours
Li Hua
