6th January 2012

Dear Sir/Madam

I am writing to inform you of an incident which happened to me at the university.

On Tuesday 3rd of January, I had my weekly tutorial at the Economics Department with
my tutor, Dr Pew. It finished late so I had to have a quick lunch. I visited the Coffee Shop
and had a sandwich. About an hour later, I started suffering from severe stomach pains. In
the end, I vomited and immediately went to the University Clinic. The doctor told me that
it looked very much like the cause was food poisoning from the food in the campus
Coffee Shop. He gave me Rehydrolyte, a medicine to replace body fluids and minerals. It
has taken me three days to get better and I have missed some important lectures.

I hope that you will investigate my case.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully
Gracie Ma

Extract from HK Metro U Campus News December 2011

New Menu at Student Canteen

Expert nutritionist, Dr Fion Tang of the School of Hotel Management and Tourism, has designed a
new menu for the Student Canteen. This menu will be available from next month.
And in other welcome news, for all you Student Canteen users, the Campus Services
Department will be busy while you are off over Christmas decorating the Student Canteen to
create a Shanghai-style canteen. It will be ready when you come back after the break.

New Campus Restaurant to Open

At last we are able to confirm that there will be a new restaurant opening in February and we
can tell you that the owner of the restaurant is none other than Antonia Zacha. The restaurant
will be located in the old administration building in Block X.
