Complaint Letter

Here's the first assignment we did in business tech this year. It's a complaint letter that we had to write to a real company about a real product. I choice to write to Jakks Pacific about their "Jakks Diamond & Pearl Pokedex". I explain in the letter that the product did not function properly and kindly asked for an explanation. Before doing this assignment I was already familiar with the proper business letter format, so this just gave me some more practice. Although I don't really enjoy writing formal letters, I didn't mind doing this assignment.

To Whom It May Concern,

I recently purchased the Jakks Diamond & Pearl Pokedex at my local Wal-Mart.
After reading the description on the back of the product I immediately purchased it. I returned to my estate and began to unwrap the product from its hard plastic wrapping. This is where my troubles with the product began.

The plastic wrapping that the product is encased in cut my index finger while I attempted to fold it back. Once I managed to remove the product from its external casing I turned on the product. Immediately after turning the product on, the 3 AA batteries began to spark and excrete the acidic battery acid inside them. I replaced the batteries and turned the product back on. The product was working smoothly, but left something to be desired.

As you know, the product is supposed to give a detailed description of the chosen Pokemon. This description is in audio, and I may not be deaf but I do have many acquaintances that are. If they had purchased this product, they would never be able to hear about their favorite Pokemon. I believe your product should have the option to use the audio feature, or to just read text about the chosen subject. Other then what was stated above, I had no other problems with the product, so I do not wish to be reimbursed for my troubles.

Thank you for considering these suggestions.

Sincerely,



Jacob S. Greco
