Write a letter to a shop that refuses to take back a faulty item because it was marked final sale or non-returnable. Inputs I will provide: shop [SHOP_NAME], order or receipt number [ORDER_NUMBER], item and price [ITEM_AND_PRICE], date bought [PURCHASE_DATE], the fault and when it appeared [FAULT_DETAILS], the policy wording they quoted [POLICY_WORDING], what I want [DESIRED_REMEDY]. It should separate a change of mind from a fault, quote the policy words, explain that the item does not work as it should, enclose evidence and ask for a repair, replacement or refund by a stated date. Facts and papers worth gathering: The receipt, photos or video of the fault, the product listing saved with its date, the final sale wording as it appeared at purchase, and my messages with the shop. Remedies that are usually on the table: A repair, replacement or refund, a written explanation of how the policy applies to faulty goods, or an independent inspection. The usual pushback: Shops often repeat the no-returns wording; reply by asking whether it was meant to cover faulty goods and by asking who can decide an exception, and check local consumer rules [VERIFY]. To begin work on the faulty item marked final sale, return pushback letter, run a short decision tree covering whether the problem is documented, who the right recipient is, and which remedy is realistic, show the branch taken, and then write the letter. Return the letter itself plus a 50-word cover note, then an escalation ladder if I am ignored (ask the store manager, then head office, then the payment provider, then a consumer agency), and a proof checklist (receipt, fault photos, listing capture, policy wording, messages). Send the letter as a PDF and paste the text into the message, then keep the sent message with its full headers and ask for a reply confirming receipt. Invent no statute or deadline; use [JURISDICTION] and [RELEVANT_LAW_OR_POLICY_IF_KNOWN] and nothing else, and tell me to verify the exact law with a professional. Sign it as me and make it sound like an ordinary letter from an ordinary person, and give me no title or credential I do not have. Keep it firm, factual and polite, with no insults or empty threats, use only the date in [DEADLINE], and say where an outcome is uncertain. None of this is legal advice.

Dear Customer Care, On 3 May I bought a stand mixer (order 55120, 189) marked final sale. On 9 May the motor stopped during normal use; the enclosed video shows it. I am not returning it because I changed my mind; it is faulty. I ask you to refund 189 or replace it by 30 May, and to tell me whether the final sale label was meant to cover faulty goods. If an exception needs a manager's approval, please pass this to them. Regards, Priya Nair
