SELF-REINFORCEMENT EXERCISE 2
 
A. Letter
 
To Whom It May Concern:
On March 5, 2010, I bought a Perfect Muffin Kit from your store at
Midfield Mall. The cashier who assisted me was George. George was very
friendly and assured me that the Perfect Muffin Kit would live up to the
guarantee on the box: “Perfect Muffins Every Time!”
Unfortunately, this product did not live up to its claim. Although the
box promised, as I stated above, to provide “perfect muffins every time,”
the muffins I made were far from perfect. I followed the directions included
in the package very carefully. First, I removed the bag of mix from the box.
Then, I poured it into a bowl. Next, I added the correct amount of water
to the mix and stirred it. The directions said that after stirring the mixture,
I could, and I quote, “add half a cup of raisins, nuts, berries, or another
favorite ingredient.” My favorite ingredient happens to be hot sauce. I find
that a dash of hot sauce makes pizza, pasta, and soup taste very delicious.
So, continuing to follow the directions, I added half a cup of hot sauce to
the mix and stirred it. Finally, I poured the mix into muffin tins and baked
it in the oven at 350 degrees for exactly 20 minutes.
 
When I finished baking the muffins, I was very excited to eat the
“perfect muffins” as promised on the box. You can imagine my disappointment
when, upon tasting the muffins, I discovered that they were not perfect.
These muffins were, in fact, absolutely terrible. Not even my dog was
interested in eating these supposedly “perfect” muffins.
I would appreciate a full refund ($3.99) for this product as soon as
possible. Enclosed are the receipt, the empty box, and one of the un-perfect
muffins so that you can experience it for yourself. Thank you for your prompt
attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Michelle Bauer
