IELTS GENERAL WRITING TASK 1
You recently received a letter from your bank that should have contained a new credit card. Unfortunately, the card was not in the letter.
Write a letter to your bank manager
In your letter,
– explain what has happened
– suggest the credit card should be cancelled for security reasons
– ask when a new credit card can be sent to you
SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear Sir/Madam,
I recently requested a new credit card, as my old was stolen during a holiday abroad. Even though the letter usually containing the credit card and its respective access information arrived on time, the credit card was missing and I would like to report this to you.
When the letter arrived, no visible signs were evident that the letter had been opened, but when I inspected the letterhead closely, there were small scratches that could indicate tampering. I believe that for security reasons this newly credit card should be cancelled immediately in order to avoid any criminal use. It may have been a technical issue, but it is also possible that a thief was responsible.
Lastly, I would like to know when a new credit card will be sent to me, as I will be going on a business trip in the near future and need it urgently.
Best wishes,
Marianne Bolton.
