discover more about their own country, and at the same
time, they boost the local economy.

Model answer:
Dear Sir/Madam
I am writing to register a complaint about the meal we were
served on our flight home last week – flight UZ332. On
the booking confirmation it stated that we would be given
breakfast and lunch. However, breakfast only consisted of
a cup of tea and lunch a tuna sandwich. By itself, this would
not have been a problem, but I regret to say that my husband
and I both suffered food poisoning from the sandwich.

Model answer:
Given the circumstances, I would ask you to do two
things. Firstly, please ensure that in future communication with
passengers you make it clear what kind of meal will be served.
Secondly, please ensure that the food which you provide is
fresh and has not been stored in the wrong conditions.
Yours faithfully
Thomas Garcia
