CLAIM LETTER ASSIGNMENT

HEFTY TRASH BAGS

While shopping at Walmart, you purchased 4 boxes of Hefty Tall Kitchen Garbage Bags, each containing a $5 rebate for which you were eligible. Upon arrival back home, you completed the rebate forms and mailed them with the required proofs of purchase and receipt; three weeks later, your $20 rebate check arrived. Unfortunately, you got busy and promptly forgot about the rebate check---until 3 months later when you found it while looking for a postage stamp.

Upon presenting the check to cash at your bank, you’re told the check is past it 90-day limit. Thus, you decide to write a claim letter requesting a replacement check from the rebate center, YA, Inc., whose address is 10 South 5^th Street, Minneapolis, Minnesota, 55402. Of course, you will enclose the original, expired rebate check to help expedite the replacement process. You also investigated and decided to mail your letter directly to the person at YA, Inc., that is in charge of the customer service team: Kathleen V. Cowden.

Now, write the claim letter using block style with mixed punctuation.

Note: Walmart, Hefty, and YA are three distinct companies. Walmart is where the product was purchased; Hefty is the brand name of the product purchased; and YA is the company who handles the entire rebate process.

In fact, YA handles rebates for hundreds of companies and processes rebate requests for thousands of products sold by these companies. Thus, it is in the interest of YA to keep customers satisfied.

The global marketplace has witnessed an increased pressure from customers and competitors in manufacturing as well as service sector (Basu, 2001; George, 2002).

These changes have left their distinctive marks on the different aspect of the manufacturing organizations (Gomes et al., 2006).
