Nor or Or

Hello,

I'm writing an angry email to a seller on a popular online store, and I'm not sure about a sentence I have in mind. Can you please help me?
Here are the alternatives I've come up with. If there are more, feel free to mention them.

- You won't dispatch the item nor (will you) reply to my emails.
- You won't dispatch the item or reply to my emails.

Are both correct? In particular, would the insertion of "will you" in the first be correct?

Thank you.
H.

Henry74 - You won't dispatch the item nor (will you) reply to my emails. Dispatch - is not the correct word to use for your purpose. My suggest is that you post the complain letter in whole so that the helpers can assist you.

Both are correct. The first is correct with or without 'will you'.
