a polite letter of complaint

ref. 04 · third notice

to · the customer office

to whom it may concern,

i write regarding the package that arrived on the eleventh of last month, in which the photograph i had ordered was bent at one corner.

i am aware this is a small matter. i would like to be the kind of person who does not mention it, and i am writing this letter in part to find out whether i am.

i do not require a replacement. i would simply like the bend to be recorded somewhere as a fact, in case i later remember it differently.

thank you for your time, which i imagine is not given freely.

— yours sincerely,

a customer, no. 4413

not sent because the writer, on rereading, found the letter to be less a complaint than a small report on her own character, and decided that the post office was not the place for that. filed instead under errata.
