Dear Ms. Kropf,

We have received your request for a cash refund for the Thompson CX11 Microwave [you purchased on March 11,
2008]. Thank you for including your sales receipt and proof of purchase with your letter.

Unfortunately, we are unable to grant you a cash refund for this product. The terms of the sale specified that the microwave was not eligible for such a refund. However, we can offer you a credit with our company in the amount of $179.99, the listed retail price of the appliance, if you choose to return the product to us. This credit can be used  on any items for sale at our stores as well as in our mail order catalog. You have to return the microwave and receive your credit by June 11.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience our product has caused you. We hope you will continue to think of us for all of your home appliance needs.

Sincerely,
Joe Beam

속상해 죽겠다 bummed out

A : 세탁소에 드라이 클리닝을 맡겼는데 착오로 내 원피스를
     다른 사람이 가져갔대.
     I left my dress at the dry cleaners, and someone else
     took it by mistake.

B : 어, 어떻게 그런 일이?
     Oh, no. How could that happen?

A : 변상해 주겠다고는 하는데, 내가 너무 아끼던 거라
     속상해 죽겠어.
     They said they'll reimburse me, but I really loved that dress.
      I'm really bummed out about it.

Yes, a few days ago.
 
멋진 중형차던데요.
He's gotten a nice medium-sized one.
 
돈이 많이 생겼나 봐요.
Maybe he just made a lot of extra money.
 
직장에서의 체면 때문에 차를 바꾼 거라던데요.
I heard that the reason he changed it was for better status at work.
