1. You thanked the customer for complaining, and that's a good thing. Statistics show that most people do not complain, they just go elsewhere next time and tell others about their bad experience. A well-handled complaint can establish a lasting relationship.
2. You cannot assure that this will never happen again. People make mistakes, and you should not promise something impossible to deliver. You try, you train, but people are people.

I suggest removing the parts in red. You could mention that this customer's letter has resulted in a change in staff training.

I have made other changes in bold.

Just one thing. Say:

We regret any inconvenience that "you" experienced.

Hi Buddy, One more suggestion. There is a slight, but important, gap in your narrative. When you write "this situation will never happen again because our staff is trained," it isn't clear whether the staff were trained before or after the incident. If they were trained before the incident, the training, clearly, wasn't adequate. If they were trained in response to the incident you could write "to ensure that this doesn't happen again, we instituted a training program for our staff." You might (or might not) explain further the type of training and how it can prevent this type of incident.

How many times is it necessary to get the same advice?

Buddyhello, it is inconsiderate to post the same queries on multiple forums without telling each forum that you have done so and telling the users what advice you got from other forums.

It is a great waste of people's time to answer threads which have been dealt with elsewhere.
