Hi Liz,
Your lessons are extremely helpful…I would really like to thank you from the very core core of my heart.
I, however have few doubts regarding the letter writing.Since I am not able to find any recent threads, I am writing it here. Hope you will help me.
I am really confused about what kind of opening clauses are suitable for which kind of letter, specifically in the complaint letters:
I am writing to report……
I am writing to complain….
I am writing with regards to…..
Please correct me if the following sentences are wrong:
I am writing to report the problems regarding the TV(Model:XXX) that I recently bought from your retail store.
I am writing regarding my suitcase that I lost last week while travelling in your XXX flight.
I am writing to complain about the problems with the Internet connections that we, the residents of Bay’s Street, are facing since last month.
Please do clarify my doubt mam.
Your complaint letter could start with any of the options given. Sorry I don’t correct English.

You will need to find an IELTS teacher or a school that offers marking services and essay correction. You should be able to find this on google. Some companies ask around 5usd to 10 usd per paper.

You can’t just offer people money and ask them to mark your essay. That’s ridiculous. If Liz is saying she does not do it, that means its a no. No need to push further!

Fatima
Thanks. I appreciate your support and understanding.
Hi Liz, I just want to appreciate your work!! I have written IELTS for the 4th time, I struggled with my writing every time, but this time I passed because I stumbled on your page on my 4th trial. I read so many articles here and how to write letters better. Finally, I have ticked IELTS off my task record. Thank you so much and continue what you do, a lot of people need this . God bless you
That’s wonderful. Now you can embrace your future and move forward. Wishing you all the best, Liz 🙂
