To Whom It May Concern:

On March 5, 2012, I bought a Perfect Muffin Kit （松饼粉） from your store at Midfield Shopping Center．The cashier who assisted me was George．George was very friendly and told me mat the Perfect Muffin Kit would live up to the guarantee on the box: "Perfect Muffins Every Time!"．

Unfortunately, this product did not live up to what it promised．The muffins I made were far from perfect．I followed the directions in the package very carefully．First, I removed the bag of mix from the box．Then, I poured it into a bowl．Next, I added the correct amount of water to the mix and stirred it．According to the directions, after stirring the mixture, I added half a cup of dried grapes, nuts, berries, or another favorite ingredient （配料）．My favorite ingredient happens to be hot sauce （沙司）．I find that a bit of hot sauce makes pizza and soup taste very delicious．So, continuing to follow the directions, I added half a cup of hot sauce to the mix and stirred it．Finally, I poured the mix into muffin tins and baked it in the baker at 350 degrees for exactly 20 minutes．

I would appreciate a full refund （退款） of $3．99 for this product as soon as possible．Enclosed are the receipt(收据), the empty box, and one of the un-perfect muffins so that you can experience it for yourself．Thank you for your attention to this matter．

Sincerely,

Michelle Bauer

56．This letter is most likely addressed to ____．

A．a local storeowner

B．the owner of the muffin mix company

C．the clerk at a local muffin bakery
