Words fail me when I want to express my gratitude for your taking time from

6. 拒绝辞职主体

I’m xx. I’m writing to inform you that I cannot accept your offer / I have to quit

the job.

I’m quite reluctant to inform you that I won’t be available because I have recently

received the admission letter from xx university. After serious consideration, I’ve

finally made the decision to go for it, which deprives me of time and energy to accept

your offer / work for you. Worse still, I have been assigned a significant task in

preparation for the 70th anniversary of our university, which happens to overlap with

your program.

Words fail me when I want to express my gratitude for your taking time from

your busy schedule and reading my letter. I look forward to your early reply at your

best convenience.

47. 投诉信主体

I’m xx. I’m writing to complain about xx.

The focus of my complaint is as follows: On the one hand, the product has been

found of poor quality since the day I bought it; / the manners of your staff is

absolutely beyond acceptance; / I have been tortured by the xx day and night for a

long time. On the other hand, my previous complaints seemed to have aroused little

attention. I feel disappointed, thus I demand that the problem be solved as soon as

possible.

Words fail me when I want to express my gratitude for your taking time from

your busy schedule and reading my letter. I look forward to the solution of the

problem as soon as possible.

8. 祝贺信主体

I feel delighted to hear that… I’m writing to extend my congratulations on

your success.

Having always appreciated your commitment very much in xx, I firmly believe

that it was only a matter of time before your efforts were rewarded. Your success

speaks well for the truth that nothing is impossible for a willing heart. What's more, I

am also convinced that you will make greater contribution to the country if you stick

to what you are doing, put it into practice, and share your experience with those who

need it.

May you enjoy many more triumphant days like this! I look forward to

hearing from you soon.
