Direction: You just bought an English dictionary from a famous e-commerce site only to find it not as good as you expected. Write an email to the customer service center to

Dear Mr. Wang,
As one of the regular customers of your e-commerce site, I feel bad to trouble you but I am afraid that I have to make a complaint about the dictionary.
What I have to complain lies in the following two aspects. In the first place, the paper of the dictionary is of poor quality. In addition, many pages in the dictionary are missing and some of the pages are reversed. Under these circumstances, I find this to be completely unacceptable.
I appreciate it very much if you could change it for a new one. Preferably, I hope you can give me a full refund. And I would like to have this matter settled in one week. I hope you can look into this matter as soon as possible and I am looking forward to your prompt reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
