after my friend gave me a year's membership as a gift. Why did you join?
Hello dear, I’ve just joined the club two day ago! The main motive is to adapt a healthy lifestyle, I wasn’t

Hi Christina! How do you feel about the recent increase in membership fees? I don’t understand this,
really disappointed. To top it all off the club is closing on Wednesday, the time I usually visit. I’m not
happy at all. Should we look somewhere else?

As ever,

Seraj.

5/5 answer

Hey Olga, what do you think about the fee increase at the sports club? I can’t believe they are increasing
the fees and closing early. If you ask me the gym should offer a discount if they plan to close early. I just
signed up and already a fee increase! Not happy!! Maria.

Formal

Also write an email to the Customer Service Team, explaining your feelings about the notice and
suggesting possible alternatives. Write 120-150 words. You have 20 minutes.

Dear Customer Service Team,

I am a member at the club and I have read you announcement regarding the increase in fees and the
closure each Wednesday. I am writing to express my disappointment about this issue, I feel really
frustrated that members have to pay more for not so much improvement in service, while also not being
able to visit the club on Wednesdays for as long as four months! This is unacceptable from my
perspective.

I know you are doing your best, but have you considered other options? I suggest you add more features
to the membership so that there is some sort of compensation. I’m sorry I would have to cancel my
membership if the situation is not fixed. Looking forward for your replay.

Sincerely,

Seraj Alsersawi.
