Dear Sir/Madam
I purchased a copy of the book titled ‘Bookkeeping for Beginners’ at your stall on 23rd
July. I paid Rs 650/= for the book. I regret to say pages 36- 60 are missing and it is a big
disappointment and an inconvenience for me as I need the book to study for an
examination.
Please tell me what you can do about this. Could you please refund the amount I paid or
send another copy with pages intact, as soon as possible?
I look forward to your reply.

Thank you

Samantha De Silva
