Dear Sir/Madam,
I’m one of your customer. I ordered a set of books on your website two weeks ago, but I didn’t received it until yesterday. And much to my disappointment, the books were too poorly packed up that the cover of one book were torn. To make matters worse, it is not a complete set, as I found one book missed.
I’m sorry to have received such poorly service, and I believe I have every right ask you to deal with this problem. I hope that you either return my money back or deliver a new set of books to me. Beside, I’d like to be informed of the process of you deal with my complaint.
Looking forward to your reply.

They consider 3. as a “safety seeking behavior” which reduces anxiety in the moment. But over time, safety behaviours actually feed anxiety 4. they prevent people from realising their fear has no basis once the situation has actually unfolded, or that it is something they’re able to cope with.
So we need to learn to face uncertainty, 5. is essential to managing our mental health. By sitting with uncertainty, a person 6. (gradual) learns to distract themselves, letting go of trying to control situations and realises they can survive the pain of “not knowing” in the situation. Using phones to push the worry onto another person 7. (prevent) self-management from occurring. Often, we don’t realise that after 8. little while and sometimes a lot of distraction, the unpleasant feeling will go away.
Keep in mind the old saying that “no news is good news”9. resist the tendency to message first. Being able to wait and let go of the desire to control each situation is a major key to 10. (overcome) anxiety.

I would sit in the front seat her and tell her all about my . Sometimes we would even read a book and until all the cars and the buses had left before we home. I felt so safe and peaceful when we sat in the car together. I those special times when I had my mom all to myself. Beginning the new challenge of school didn’t seem so when I knew I could talk about it with her. Being a tiny, little kid in a big scary wasn’t so bad either.
