I recently bought three packages of Juan’s taco shells from my local grocery
store. I had bought these to use for my daughter’s 8th birthday party. She loves
tacos, and I promised that she and her friends could have them at her birthday
party. However, when I opened the packers to prepare her birthday meal, I
found every single taco shell in all three packers to be broken. It was too late
to go out to buy new shells, so instead of serving the tacos that I had
promised, we had to order pizza. My daughter was terrible upset, and her
birthday party was ruined. I would like to receive a full refund of the money I paid for the broken shells. Sincerely, Mark Martin Juan’s Taco Co. 8231 La Junta Way Oxnard, CA 91344 Dear Mr. Martin,
We just received your complaint about your last purchase of taco shells.
According to your complaint, you bought packages of our shells from your
local grocery store to use for your daughter’s birthday party. As you noted, the
shells were broken in the package, effectively ruining your dinner plans for
this special occasion. We are very sorry about this problem, and we would like
to make it up to you. Enclosed is a refund for the packages you bought, as
well as coupons for $10 of products from Juan’s Taco Co. You can use these
coupons to buy more taco shells or any of our other taco products, including
salsa and tortillas. You are a valued customer and we hope you will accept our apology. Sincerely, John Smith Customer Service Manager
