  • – If the goods were received in perfect condition but later became damaged, this letter would not be suitable. Instead, you would need to address the issue based on the warranty or service agreement.
  • – Situations where the seller has already agreed to a refund or exchange do not require this letter. In such cases, direct communication with the seller may suffice.
