Saying what you can and cannot do
Requesting action Here are some ways to ask people to do something for you.
Note: Please could you..,' is the most direct. You can use this when you are asking for something usual. Apologising
Notes: - Use the '-ing' form after these phrases. EXAMPLE We are extremely sorry for losing your order. - You can also say 'We are extremely sorry that...' e.g. We are extremely sorry that we lost your order. Usually, it is polite to give the reason for the problem and then apologise again at the end of a letter.
Making a mild complaint To make a mild complaint you can: - say that, unfortunately, something is wrong, EXAMPLE 'Unfortunately, we have not yet received the filing cabinets.’ and then, using the phrases you learnt before: - request some action. Making a strong complaint To make a strong complaint you can: - say exactly what is wrong, EXAMPLE 'It is now over nine months since we placed this order and we are still waiting for the cabinets.' - make a point connected with this, EXAMPLE 'I should like to point out that we have already paid for these cabinets.' and then: - demand immediate action. EXAMPLE 'We really must insist, therefore, that you deliver them immediately.' If you think that it is necessary you can also: - give a warning. EXAMPLE 'Unless we hear from you, we will take legal action.'
