Question this is formal ielts letter is it rite? and im confused abt is it 150 words or not?

U have purchased a camera from the duty free shop. There has been something wrong wd the camera. Write a letter to the shop & describe wat u felt when u found out abt the problem. Tell them wat u expect them to do.


Dear sir/madam,

One week before I bought a new Panasonic Digital Camera (model number MGH101) from the duty free shop. I found something strange problem in it on the time of using because it doesn’t work properly from the first day.

I am afraid to write this letter to you that I purchased this camera by my heart because I wanted to capture some beautiful memories of my life. Actually I had to take pictures of my sister’s wedding events but unfortunately it deceived me at the eleventh of hour due to this I didn’t take any single snap from it. Most of the time when I open its shutter then it doesn’t show the outside view and sometimes its flash doesn’t work properly, first I thought it might be possible battery may be down but after inserting new batteries, it wasn’t still working. It’s worthless for me and I didn’t take a single picture from that camera. My family and I both are very disappointed after seeing its result because we are not anticipating that much worst result from your shop.

I hope you will consider my complaint and I expect you to please exchange this camera to the new one. It would be very thankful to you; if you consider my words then I will bring that camera with me at your shop.



Yours sincerely,
Xyz

Dear sir/madam,

One week
back (before) I bought a new Panasonic Digital Camera (model number MGH101) from your (the) duty free shop. As I started to use it, I found some (thing) strange sound (problem in) coming from it with symptoms of malfunctioning. (on the time of using because) As a matter of fact, it doesn’t work properly from the (first) day one
.
With a heavy heart I am (afraid to) writing this letter to you as I considered that (I purchased) this camera would be my precious buy (heart) with which (because) I could (wanted to) capture some beautiful memories of my life. Actually I had to take pictures of important events at my sister’s wedding but unfortunately it deceived me at the eleventh of hour due to which (this) I couldn’t take a (ny) single snap with (from) it. Most of the time when I open its shutter, (then) it doesn’t show the outside view and sometimes its flash doesn’t work properly. At first I thought it might be due to the (possible) battery being (may be) down but after inserting new batteries, it is (wasn’t) still not working. It’s now worthless for me and I have not (didn’t) taken a single picture with (from) that camera. My family and I (both) are very disappointed after seeing its result and (because we are) facing (not anticipating that much) the worst experience of our life with a branded product bought (
result) from your shop.

I hope you will consider my complaint
