dear president,
i am li ming, a second year student in the education department of ouf university. i`m writing to inform you of the true conditions of our canteen service.
i don`t know how to begin my account because the service is really bad. please read my letter patiently and do something about it. we would be grateful for whatever you do for us students.
firstly, the quality of the food is bad. for instance, the rice is too hard. what`s more, some dishes are not fresh sometimes. as a matter of fact, the poor food has already caused some stomach problems among the students.
secondly, the service is not good enough. some staff members give us short measure when they are in a bad mood. now and then they behave like robbers, robbing you of your appetite. worst of alit they never smile.
thirdly, the price is too high. a small cake made from rice and dates cost as much as 0.6 yuan! it will cost us a good 6 yuan to fill our stomach with such cakes. after all we are poor students.
i wish my opinion would call your attention to the canteen service on campus. we are badly in need of your help.
looking forward to an early reply.
respectfully yours,
li ming
