In view of the above ,we ask you to reconsider our candidacy for the Robin’s Woolens distributorship in Haiti and to inform us if you are willing to resume negotiations that for various reasons were left in “abeyance”.

Firstly , the quality of the dishes should be improved. Undoubtedly, there are a lot of delicious dishes,but all the year,they are the same. More and more students are complaining about eating the same food each day, so I think the most urgent problem is variety. Secondly, the price is a bit too high. Many of us hope that the canteen can provide us with not only delicious but also cheaper food. Finally ,the environment is so noisy that we can’t enjoy our meal in good mood. I suggest there be some soft music to help us relax. Those presented suggestions are not just for my own,but also of many other students. We hope our respectable president will pay attention to our suggestions. By the way, the canteen workers are very patient and always smiling. So I think if our university offers them better conditions, they will offer us better service.
