Dear Sir or Madam,
　　I am Li Li, a regular customer of your department store. I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the service in your store.
　　The focus of the complaint is the poor service of a saleslady at the shoe department. Two days ago I intended to buy a pair of shoes, but no one served me. To my surprise, I found 3 salesladies sitting behind the desk, talking. They just ignored my existence. When finally one of them came, she went to the length of complaining about my interrupting their talk. I was so amazed that I decided to buy my shoes elsewhere.
　　I trust you will take my complaints seriously so as to attract more customers, as I do think there is still much room for improvement on your service.

　　Sincerely yours,
　　Xiao Xiao

　　便笺 (Note)
　　便笺是一种非正式的、简短的书信，包括请假条、借条、留言等，甚至包括非正式的邀请信和感谢信。
　　便笺不能像信函那么正式，无论在格式、行文、语气等方面都比较自由，不需要称呼和结尾套语。便笺往往比较口语化，甚至可用行话。因此，写便笺时，应做到言简意赅，以传递信息为主要目的。为写作方便，也可采取与左边线齐平的格式。
　　便笺虽说简短，但务必写清楚：
　　1.时间：至少应有月、日，必要的话可加上星期几，甚至可注明几点钟。
　　2.人名：称呼可有可无，视具体情况而定。
　　3.事由：简明扼要，以讲清楚事情为原则。
　　最后，还得提醒考生，一定要看清题目的字数要求。
