Subject: Re: Poor reception

Dear Mr. Feldstein,

Thank you for informing us about the intermittent reception that you have been experiencing with our wireless phone service for the past few days. You wanted us to explain what the problem was and also asked for a discount on your service fee for this month.

First, we believe that this problem is due to the ongoing repair work on our cell phone towers in the Mountainview area, which were severely damaged during the recent snowstorm. Our maintenance crew is still working to fix the problem.

And in regard to your second inquiry, I would first like to apologize for the inconvenience. Because you are a valued customer, we are deducting $40 from your next billing statement. We hope that this addresses any trouble you may have experienced.
