Bài văn mẫu:

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to draw your attention to several issues I have recently experienced with your internet service.

Firstly, my internet connection has been extremely unstable over the past two weeks. The speed is significantly slower than what was promised, and the connection is frequently interrupted, especially during peak hours. Secondly, I have contacted your customer support team several times, but the problem has not been resolved.

These issues have greatly affected my daily activities. As I work remotely, a stable internet connection is essential for attending online meetings and completing my tasks efficiently. Unfortunately, the poor service has caused delays in my work and considerable inconvenience.

I would strongly recommend that your company improve the service quality by upgrading the system and providing more effective technical support. Prompt action in resolving customer complaints would also be highly appreciated.

I look forward to your reply soon. If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours faithfully,
[Your Name]

Bài văn mẫu:

Hi Tom,

It’s great to hear that you’re coming to visit my country! I’m really excited about your trip. Anyway, the reason I’m writing is to give you some suggestions to make your visit more enjoyable.

Firstly, you should definitely visit some famous places such as Ha Long Bay and Hoi An Ancient Town. These destinations are not only beautiful but also rich in culture and history. By the way, if you enjoy nature, I highly recommend visiting Sapa, where you can see breathtaking landscapes.

As for food, you must try some traditional dishes like pho, banh mi, and fresh spring rolls. They are very delicious and quite affordable. Also, street food here is very popular, so don’t miss the chance to try it.

In addition, you should be careful with your belongings in crowded places and always carry some cash, as many small shops do not accept credit cards.

It’ll be a pleasure to catch up again soon. Give my best to your family.

Best wishes,
[Your Name]
