    First task:
    To whom it may concern:
    I am writing to complain about the poor service I received at your store.
    I am very upset about the way I was treated by one of your sales staff. I asked one of the salesperson to help me in my request, but he did not come back to me. I waited about 15 minutes but he did not show up; I left the store without the stuff that I asked about.
    Please give this matter your immediate attention.
    Thank you,
    Amneh Abdulrahim

    Very good Chang, but you have missed the purpose of the letter on the first line. ''I am writing to ask for a name change....''
