Read the following letter of complaint and identify the base words of the ones in bold. March 31, 2025   Dear Sabrina Smith, Wedding Plannet at Hyatt Zilara Cancun,   I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the wedding ceremony held at your beachfront hotel on the 14th of December 2024. As the groom, I paid a significant amount for this event and had high expectations for its execution . However, several issues resulted in a disappointing experience. The ceremony was severely delayed by over 45 minutes due to poor planning, which caused a great deal of inconvenience . The reception area was misplaced and disorganized, and the decorations were not as promised. Additionally, the beach setting was not properly maintained, with debris scattered along the shore and an unpleasant smell. The entertainment was also poorly planned, with the band struggling to play requested songs and creating an uncomfortable atmosphere. These frustrating issues annoyed both of u...

A memo is often sent to a smaller group and meant to schedule an event, confirm the results of a meeting, or remind people that something is taking place. A notice often goes to a broader group to announce something affecting the company or a company division at large. The term circular is sometimes used exclusively to refer to an external advertising document.  Nowadays, all three types of documents are often digital, not printed.

Brainstorming about dissatisfying situations with service or product supplier Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to express my dismay at the service at your Eden Hill branch on Saturday 14 January. I often collect prescriptions from the pharmacy on behalf of my grandmother, Mrs Elaine Bingham. On this occasion there were two prescriptions: one for 10 x 50 mg Kendomol and one for 50 x 100 mg Leoprone. I was served quickly even though there appeared to be only one pharmacist on duty. However, as I was leaving I saw that I had been given 500 mg tablets of Kendomol. This is ten times stronger than the prescription called for. If I hadn't noticed the difference between the prescription and the actual tablets, my grandmother could have taken a dangerous overdose of Kendomol. I would be worried about getting any future prescriptions at Eden Hill. The pharmacist apologised and corrected the mistake but I wanted to bring it to your attention. I think it happened because there were not enough staf...
