Writing Exercise 2

I have another exercise written below...

You purchased a product from a catalog company and now want to return it.

Estimados Señores,

Hoy es el veintidós de junio. He comprado un reloj nuevo de su catálogo. Lo compré el martes pasado. El precio de este reloj era trescientos euros. Pagué por el reloj en efectivo, mandado por correo directamente a su dirección. Me gustaría devolverlo por un reembolso completo. La razón es que el reloj llegó a mi casa roto. Si usted aceptara mi oferta, lo mandaré a su dirección de correo.

Gracias por su tiempo.

Cordialmente,

hot dog

In the last sentence you are repeating the same you said in the first part.
Gracias por su tiempo.

I did a few corrections.

Thank you Croalito.. I will be sure to remember what you said.

I have one more exercise that I did before the state exam... here it is, I didn't want to copy and paste the picture in because it would have filled up the page but it was a picture of two people writing/studying in a library and a woman putting. books around at a bookshelf.

In Spanish, write a story about the situation shown in the picture below. It must be a story relating to the picture, not a description of the picture.
Do not write a dialogue.


John llegó a la biblioteca de su casa hace dos horas. Hay dos personas en la biblioteca con John. La biblioteca no está ocupada hoy. John le está escribiendo una carta a su madre, y la persona al lado de él está estudiando por una prueba de químicia. Pero él y esta persona no pueden concentrarse porque una mujer está poniendo libros encima de una balda, y está haciendo mucha ruida. La bibliotecaria es maleducada. John y la mujer se llama Vanessa se van a irse de la biblioteca junto.

How is that? I was trying to use irse at the end to mean "are going to leave from the library" but I think I used it horribly wrong, lol. If anyone can correct this I would appreciate it.

John y la mujer se llama Vanessa se van a irse de la biblioteca junto.

In the last phrase the sentence should to be write of the following way.
John y la mujer se retiran de la bliblioteca juntos , la mujer se llama vanessa.

Corrections above.
