Dear Sir,
Complaint Lodgment Over an Unexpected Error in My Bill
This is to bring to your notice an unexpected error of $9 over charge in the consumable items I purchased from your store yesterday, 13 May 2020.
From my recalculation of the total amount for the purchased item, I could observed that the error was due to a transposition of figure by your cashier; he charged me a total sum of $76 instead of $67.
Copies of the invoice and the payment receipt for the items are hereby attached to this letter for your verification. After your verification, kindly get back to me so that I can come to your office for the refund.
I look forward to receiving your usual timely response.
Yours sincerely,
Amcool.
