Dear Manager:

Thank you for responding to my letter. I am really happy that you took my advice and followed up with the customer service problem I wrote about earlier. I hope that you find another hairdresser that’s really nice and tries to get what the customer wants. I think that I will come back with friends to get our hair done someday.

I appreciate that you try to hire hairdressers that are nice to the people waiting to get their hair cut. Also, thank you for the discount coupon for my next hair cut.

Sincerely,

Jackie Jay
