Dear Management of Ben Tan Food Court

Cockroach in a bowl of porridge

I was at Ben Tan Food Court on 9 August 2011, at 8 a.m. (point 1). I saw a cockroach in a bowl of porridge (point 2) and I felt very disgusted (point 2). I showed the bowl of porridge to the stallholder (point 3) and he exchanged the bowl of porridge with me (point 4).

I think the management should give the stallholder a firm warning (point 5) about the cleanliness of the stall.

Thank you for your attention.

Regards
Lia Ka Chua

SW (Bedok Public Library) - Suggested answer

Dear Manager

On 5 October 2009 (1m), I was at Bedok Public Library. Miss Lily (1m) was the librarian on duty. When I left the library and reached the bus stop outside, I discovered that my wallet was missing (1m).Miss Lily came rushing out of the library with my wallet to return it to me (1m). As my bus was waiting to leave (1m), I did not have a chance to thank her. I am so grateful to Miss Lily my wallet contained some cash and some important documents. (1m)

Please thank Miss Lily on my behalf.

Yours sincerely
Jena Tan

Important tips for SW. Make sure information is
1. accurate (no transfer errors)
2. complete (eg. do not leave out the year for date if it is stated in the stem)
3. explicit to the point you are answering (eg. "Ms Lily was there." is not explicit. "Ms Lily is the librarian on duty." is.)
