Write a letter asking a seller to refund an item that arrived defective or stopped working. What I will tell you: seller [SELLER_NAME], item [ITEM], order number [ORDER_NUMBER], purchase date [PURCHASE_DATE], amount paid [AMOUNT_PAID], what is wrong [DEFECT_DESCRIPTION], steps I already took [STEPS_TAKEN], remedy I want [DESIRED_REMEDY], evidence I hold [EVIDENCE_LIST].

The letter should state the purchase and the defect in plain terms, say how the problem was found and when, list what I already tried, ask for one specific remedy, and give the reply date.

Facts and papers worth gathering: the receipt or order number, the date I bought it and the date the fault began, photos or video of the defect, support messages, and the store's return policy page. Realistic outcomes to ask for: a full refund to the original payment method, or a replacement if I prefer one, with the store covering return shipping. The usual pushback: "The item is outside the return window." Answer by saying the issue is a defect and not a change of mind, and ask them to apply their defect or guarantee process.

Begin with a dated timeline for the defective item refund demand (date, what happened, proof), flag the gaps, and then write the letter so it follows the timeline. Provide the letter along with a cover note of roughly 60 words, next the ordered next steps if there is no reply (contact the seller again, then the payment provider, then a consumer agency), then a proof checklist (receipt, photos of the defect, support messages, return proof), plus one delivery tip. Post the letter by certified or registered post with a return receipt, and store the postal receipt with a copy of exactly what was sent.

Draft the letter from me personally as a layperson, never as an attorney, and sign with my name alone. Invent no statute or deadline, and quote none you were not given; work from [JURISDICTION] and [RELEVANT_LAW_OR_POLICY_IF_KNOWN], and tell me to verify the exact law with a qualified professional or my local consumer agency. Sound reasonable, factual and resolute, and free of abuse, and put the date from [DEADLINE] on any request. Check my inputs for gaps before any drafting and tell me which statements are only my opinion. I am asking for a draft and not for legal advice, so name risks without ranking my chances.

Subject: Refund request, order 55812, Brightline blender
Dear Ms. Alvarez,
On 3 March I bought a Brightline 900 blender from your online shop for 84.00 (order 55812). On 19 March the motor began to smell of burning and then stopped. I contacted support on 20 March and returned it on 24 March; the carrier confirmed delivery on 27 March (tracking 7710 2284).
I am asking for a full refund of 84.00 to my original card. Please confirm by 14 April. I have attached the receipt, a photo of the damaged jug seal, and your support replies.
Sincerely, Daniel Okoro
