np. I am writing to complain about an mp3 player, which I bought from your company. It has a one-year warranty but it broke down after just two weeks. There were also more faults, which I will mention in next part of the letter.
Rozwinięcie
np. First of all, I had to wait for my mp3 player to arrive for almost 3 weeks. You wrote on your site that it would take no more than 5 days. What is more, the player which I received came without earphones, which should be included within the box. Thirdly, although I operated this device according to the instruction, it broke down after 2 weeks and I cannot listen to the music now.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to ask about the holiday apartments in the Golden Sands advertised in „Wakacje za granicą” magazine this month.
In your advertisement you mentioned that all the apartments are self-catering. Could you tell me what cooking facilities are available in the kitchen? Could you also tell me if cooking utensils are also provided?
I noticed from your advertisement that the beach is quite nearby. However, I would also like to know if the apartments have an access to a swimming pool.
I would be very grateful if you could send me a list of apartments and prices with a view to making a reservation in July.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Tom Smith

Dear Sir Or Madam
I am writing to complain about a denim vest that I bought from your online shop last month.
When I took it out of the box, I was very unhappy to find that in different colour. As if this were not enough, this denim vest was too small.
I had a similar situation last year when I bought a dress online. It was too big. I wrote an e-mail to this company about this problem and they sent me another dress in the right size.
You can replace this vest for the right one or if it will not be possible I want to get a full refund.
I am enclosing the receipt.
I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
Your faithfully,
XYZ

Dear Sir or Madam
I am writing to you because I saw your advertisement in the net and at first sight it looked interesting. I am interested in this advertisement deeper because I like rock music, so I think I will feel comfortable in this place.
I could be a ticket seller because I am good at maths. Also I could be a person, who provides rock stars with everything what they need because I am a helpful person.
I would like to have free drinks and snack during the festival. Of course, I promise I would not let you down and do what you ask for.
If you can, please send me some more information about accomodation conditions and transport to the gig place.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
XYZ

List oficjalny po angielsku przykład 5 – zapytanie o szczegóły ogłoszenia
You want to attend a course in English and American Studies in and English speaking country and you see this section in a college prospectus:
SCHOLARSHIPS
Every year, two scholarships are offered to candidates from overseas who can show how our one-year course would help their career. Scholarships cover fees, accommodation and food, but not transport or personal spending money. Apply in writing, explaining why do you think you deserve a scholarship.
Write your letter. Do not include any postal adresses. Write your answer in 120-180 words in an appropriate style.?
Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to apply for one of the scholarship programs I saw advertised in your prospectus. Presently, I am training to be a secondary school teacher of English and I am finishing my course at the end of June. However, I feel I still have a lot to learn about the language and culture of The English-speaking country.
The reason I am applying for a scholarship is that I cannot afford the cost of studying abroad. I have no income except for my student grant, so if I am fortunate enough to be given the scholarship, I would have to work part-time to save some personal spending money. My parents will borrow some money for my airfare if I am succesful.
I would appreciate being given the opportunity to study at your college and would be very grateful if you would consider my application.
Yours faithfully,
Matthew
