Subject: Urgent: Defective Treadmill - Request for Resolution
Dear Mr. Berkin,
I trust this message finds you well. I am writing to address a concern
regarding my recent purchase of a Precor treadmill, ordered on January
12th.
Having been impressed by your commitment to cardiovascular fitness
during our initial discussion, I eagerly awaited the delivery of the treadmill.
Unfortunately, upon setting it up and following the provided instructions, I
encountered a significant issue with the spin-wheel system, causing
resistance and instability.
I have carefully reviewed the instructional materials, and despite my efforts,
the machine's performance remains faulty. This has hindered my ability to
use the treadmill safely.
I kindly request your assistance in resolving this matter promptly. I propose
either sending a replacement treadmill at no additional cost or arranging a
refund upon the return of the defective unit.
For your convenience, my contact number is 706-555-3800. I would
appreciate your guidance on the next steps to address this concern
efficiently.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Alisha Soto
