Tips
- Focus on the most important facts. Don't give unnecessary background information.
- Make sure you include:
- the reason for writing (e.g. I am writing to ...)
- what went wrong
- what you would like to happen now.
- Complaint letters are usually written in a formal style.
- Use passives to be less direct and more formal, e.g. I was served quickly.
- Use Yours faithfully to sign off if you don't know the name of the person you're writing to.
-
Fill the gaps with the information next to the complaint letter. This could be a good complaint letter model to be taken into account when you have to write yours.
-
Have a look at the template(click on the link below) which contains good info about what to include in a complaint letter and a list of Do's and Don'ts. Then choose ONE of the situations and write a complaint letter (in pdf format) (length: 100 words approx)
