Receiving an unclear feedback letter from a customer

Dear (company),

I enjoy your product and I’m writing this feedback letter to suggest a few things that I think will improve the product.

Personally, I think that the color on the top part should be changed. I also realized that one of the buttons does not work as it should. I would appreciate it if these could be worked on.

Thanks,

(customer)
