Dear Mr. Orion Murillo:

I am writing to let you know that my recent experience with Western Car Rentals was very disappointing. My company always chooses Western Car Rentals as our main car rental business. After my recent experience, we will no longer give you business if this problem goes unsolved.

With my recent experience, I rented a car from you from the day of June 23rd to June 26th. Once I picked up my rental car from the Dallas-Ft. Worth International Airport, I soon found that the gas tank was empty. Therefore, I had to stop at the gas station to fill the tank.

Upon dropping the rental car back off, I neglected to fill the tank with gas, since that is how I received the car. Once I received my bill from the attendant, I noticed that there was a charge of $69.43 to fill up the rental car I had just returned. I spoke with your attendant and explained to her my situation about receiving the car with an empty tank. She then replied informing me that it is your company policy and she must charge me for a tank of gas.

If you would like to continue receiving business from me and my company, I would suggest settling this matter by crediting me back the $69.43 I was charged for gas. Please let me know what your decision is by Friday, April 2nd, 2010. You can reach me at 330-459-7638 or write to me at the following address;

Commercials that I find misleading are infomercials. The fine print usually says that you have to pay outrageous shipping for each shipment and if it is something like a workout infomercial, then every month they send you a new dvd and charge it to your credit card. Also they usually say that in just six easy payments of $39.99 that item can be yours. So then people fall for the scam and end up in debt since they couldn't refuse such a deal! The axe commercials are cheesy and sometimes misleading. To sell their product they make it look like the guy is going to be a chick magnet if they use axe. Unfortunately for the guys it doesn't always work like that. I do believe some commercials do stick true to their ads however.

To make the town I live in better, I would change some of the laws. One I would change would be if you're at a park after 10pm you can't get a curfew ticket if you're over 18. I grew up with a park across the street from my house and I hated having to get worried about the cops driving by after it was closed. There were these boys in my neighborhood that would cause trouble so it seemed like for a while the cops would drive by regularly. I just don't think that parks should close. Also I would organize volunteer groups to go around monthly and clean up the city and plant new trees so the community would look nicer. I would also make it so that people with animals in the winter are requried to leave their pets in the garage or in the house rather then outside when it's freezing!
