Compose a formal letter of complaint to the registrar of University X regarding a faulty laptop supplied for remote learning. The letter must be between (250) and (300) words and include: date, address, subject line, greeting, three body paragraphs each addressing a separate issue, and a closing. If your total word count is (270) and you allocate (30) words for the greeting and (30) words for the closing, how many words can you assign to each of the three body paragraphs? Provide the letter and the word‑allocation.

Answer Options

Correct Answer A. Total words = 270 Greeting = 30 words Closing = 30 words Words left for body = 270 - 30 - 30 = 210 words. Dividing the body into three paragraphs gives 210 ÷ 3 = 70 words per paragraph. **Letter** 27 April 2026 Registrar's Office University X 123 Academic Avenue Lagos, Nigeria Subject: Formal Complaint - Defective Laptop Issued for Remote Learning Dear Registrar, I am writing to formally complain about the laptop (Serial No. ZX‑2025‑014) issued to me on 10 March 2026 for my remote‑learning module. Firstly, the device fails to boot beyond the BIOS screen, rendering it unusable for coursework. Secondly, the battery drains completely within ten minutes, despite the manufacturer's claim of a four‑hour runtime, which severely limits my ability to attend online lectures. Thirdly, the pre‑installed software suite is corrupted, causing frequent crashes and loss of saved work, compromising my academic performance. I have already reported these issues to the IT Help‑Desk on 12 April 2026 (Ticket #4521) but have received no satisfactory resolution. I kindly request an immediate replacement with a fully functional unit or a refund of the equipment cost, as stipulated in the university's remote‑learning policy. I trust the university will address this matter promptly. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter and inform me of the corrective action within five working days.

B. Total words = 260 Greeting = 30 words Closing = 30 words Words left for body = 260 - 30 - 30 = 200 words.
