This is so funny, I got the same letter, word for word on my complaint about the store here in NY. That was 1 month ago, have heard nothing since, sounds like we're being pacified, I just don't shop there any more. I expected at the very least a personal letter by snail mail and maybe a call from the manager of this local store.
