Body of Letter cont. I am writing to inform you of a problem I have with one of your hair dryers. In August 2003, I bought a Conair Cord Keeper Hair Dryer at Bed Bath and Beyond in the Whitehall Shopping Center located in Pennsylvania. I liked it because the handle folded up nicely to transport it back and forth from home and school. However, after only a couple of months the locking mechanism, which holds the handle straight when drying my hair, broke. Now I have to hold the head of the dryer up myself as it will not stay locked onto the handle. The product is no longer functioning as it was intended so I would like a replacement or a refund of the purchase price. I have always purchased Conair Hair Products for their high quality reputation. I appreciate you taking the time to consider my letter. “Suck-up” Paragraph
