Dear Mr Ribsskog,
Many thanks for your further emails regarding the Tesco County Road Metro store.
I am sorry you feel Elizabeth has not addressed your issues in full in her email of 20th August. Please be assured, Elizabeth has taken all necessary steps to ensure the points you have raised in your emails have been passed to Colin Richardson, the Manager at the store. If you would like to discuss any of the issues, Colin will be happy to meet with you when you are next in the store.
On checking your previous correspondence, I can see my colleague Yvonne Edmonds, sent you a £10 Tesco Moneycard to
Flat 3, 5
Leather Lane, Liverpool.L2 2AE. This was sent on 12th May 2011.
As a company committed to delivering the very best in terms
of customer service it is very disappointing when any of our customers are
unhappy with us and I do hope you will accept my apologies for any
inconvenience or upset that these matters may have caused.
Unfortunately, there is nothing more we can add to what has already been said, and I do not feel that continuing this correspondence will bring any further benefit to either of us. Therefore we will not be entering into any further contact with regards to these issues.
Many thanks once again for contacting the Chief Executive's Office.
Kind regards,
Shaun Wheeldon
Executive Response Team Leader

Hi,
I'm not happy with your reply about the bike-boys.
Because the security-guard didn't even try to get the bike boys to move,
even if he was standing just a couple of meters away from the
enterance-door, which the bike-boys blocked.
It was like he didn't care, I think.
Also, like I wrote in my earlier e-mail I think it's very unpractical,
(bordering idiocracy), to have two types of baskets, which don't mix.
This is so dum, I think, that I want to escalate this please.
These baskets doesn't cost much.
And you haven't replied about the dirt and grease in the baskets eighter.
Rotten fruit etc., have been laying in the baskets, and made a kind of oil,
that is tacky and sticky at the bottom of many of the baskets.
This is unhygenic, I think.
Please escalate to your line-manager.
Erik Ribsskog
