(address)
Dear Sir,
I have lived here for five years and during this time I have
used most of the services of Thanh Ba post office. Now I am
writing to show you my opinions of these services. The staffs
here are very helpful and polite. They are willing to help
when we need. The prices of the services here are quite
reasonable, so most people in our neighborhood use the

services here. However, there are still some matters. The
equipment in the post office needs upgrading. Sometimes I
needed to fax an urgent document but it was impossible
because the fax machine was out of order. Moreover, the
delivery of newspapers is never punctual. One more thing I
want to mention is that the security conditions of the post
office are not very good. There used to be property loss here.
I am writing in the hope that these matters will be improved.
If so, I believe more and more people will go to Thanh Ba
post office.
Yours faithfully,

 Defining relative clauses give essential information to define or
identify the person or thing we are talking about
Non-defining relative clauses are always separated from the rest of
the sentence by commas.
Notes:
1. In non-defining clauses, you cannot use ‘that’ instead of who,
whom or which.
2. You cannot leave out the relative pronoun, even when it is the
object of the verb in the relative clause.
3. Non-defining clauses can be introduced by expressions like all of,
many of + relative pronoun:
Examples: There were a lot of people at the party, many of whom I
had known for years.
