Read the email and answer the questions.1 What did Diane Truman want to buy?2 What problem did she have paying for it?3 Was her phone call to the company successful? Why?/Why not?4 What three things does she want the company to do?Dear Sir/Madam,Email MessageI am writing to complain about the poor customer service I received from Strand Records recently. On April 23rd, I bought an album online (order number YH6398X). I tried to use a ten-pound voucher I had been given for my birthday. Unfortunately, your website did not accept it. Consequently, I had to pay for the album by credit card. When I listened to the album, I discovered that the wrong file had been downloaded. Although the artist was correct, it was an old album, which I already have. I phoned your helpline, but despite your company's good reputation for customer service, the man I spoke to was not very helpful. He suggested entering the voucher code again, but when I explained that I had already done this, he said it was company policy not to give new codes. What is more, he suggested I was trying to get a free album, which was very rude.I'm really dissatisfied with my experience with Strand Records. Nevertheless, I am sure that you can make the situation right. I would like a refund for the money I spent on the old album as well as a new voucher code so that I can spend my birthday gift. Also, I expect an apology from your helpline for the trouble you have caused. I am attaching a copy of the voucher with the code that didn't work.I look forward to hearing from you soon.Yours faithfully,Diane Truman
