    Summary Activity - Time to write about yourself

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    I'm writing this email to complain about one of my mac mini's USB ports.

    I bought it from your shop on May 6th. In the morning, I tried to plug in a USB mic, but it was not recognized. Is this port burned?

    I want to return it and get my money back. When can I come to your shop?

    Please, contact me about this ASAP.

    Best...

  • Geovani dos Santos made a comment
    Have you had problems with something you bought?

    I already had a problem with a USB mic. The seller said it was compatible with my mac mini, but I tested it several times, and it didn't work. So I decided to return the product to the store and get my money back.
