Complaint letter
After reading 'Formal Business Writing: Resolving Difficult Commercial Situations' by Michael Chambers, I would like to write a letter to a shoes company, because I had a problem with one of their product. I don’t want to write a letter ‘too aggressive’. Could you help me to write a polite (and grammatically correct) complaint letter, please?
Dear Sirs, Dear Madam,
my name is Andrea and I have been using xxx’s products since a long time. I have used your products in different disciplines and I have always appreciated their comfort and technology, as well as the style.
I am writing to inform you about a defect I encountered on my last running shoes. After few months I was using them, two eyelets broke and so it was impossible to do up the shoes properly. I would like to point out that when I was doing up the shoes I wasn’t stretching the shoelace as stronger as I could. I have attached some pictures to allow you to analyze better the problem.
As a mechanical engineer, I know how important is to receive feedback and I hope this could help you to work out the problem. I hope also not to have again the same problem with my new shoes I have recently bought.
Your sincerely,
Andrea

Grammar help
I have just done an exercise about 'clauses of contrast and purpose' and I have written these sentences:
Everybody laughed at my boss's speech even though his terrible jokes.
The staff in my office are happy although working long hours.
The answers from the book are:
Everybody laughed at my boss's speech in spite of his terrible jokes.
The staff in my office are happy despite working long hours
Why I have to use 'in spite of' instead of 'even though' and 'despite' instead of ' although'?
Thanks!

Christmas greating
Hi,
how are you?
This song is my Christmas gift for you.
It has been the first song I could translate without dictionary! I know, it is extremely easy, but I hope its lyric will be able to help you to achieve your dreams (it helped me a lot!).
Merry Christmas and best wishes for a happy new year.
Andrea
