Complaint letter to poor service (daily blog post)

Tuesday 15th April 2014

Dear McDonalds Manager
I have written this letter because your meals suck, all your meals are untidy and all over the place, it literally looked like you garbed a bun got a bunch of all the lettuce sauce and paddies and just clashed them all together. It is so annoying when I see the ad on TV and it looks really nice and yum and tidy, then when I go to buy it its just all clashed together like a homemade taco. Also your fries are completely skinny and all limp and does not fill you up at all, I know that a lot of takeaway restaurants do this but you are the worst. Im sick of all this untidy food and everything falling out the moment I pick it up. Please do change this or close your shop down completely.
Please do something about this.

Yours sincerely
Ryan Nelmes

This morning we were told to research when you should use Their, They're, an`d There.

You should use there when you are explaining where something is or were.
You use their when your talking about something that is peoples belongings or thoughts.
When you use they're it basically means they are just joined together.
