...Letter of complaint. A letter of complaint is usually written as a follow-up to a verbal conversation to someone who has not responded to the complaint. It is used to keep a written record of your complaint. In addition, more than one person might be the recipient of the letter. For example if you are dealing with a situation where you had unsatisfactory car repairs done on your car by a franchise dealership, you might write to the franchisee AND to the Head Office. Letters of request or invitation are generally considered to be a positive letter. The recipient will receive the information in a positive fashion. A letter of complaint is usually considered to be a negative letter. The recipient might receive the information in a negative fashion. Therefore, it is important that you choose positive language to help buffer the impact. Here are some suggestions for writing a complaint. 1.- explain the problem in the first sentences. 2.- remember that you are unhappy with the company, not the reader. 3.- keep the tone professional, not informal. Do not use a lot of emotional words (e.g. terrible, the worst). 4.- you may want to include a positive sentence about the company or your previous experience with the product. 5. Be specific about what action you are requesting. 6.- if this is a very serious complaint, explain what additional action you will take if the company does not take care of the problem. The language of complaints. It is not possible to...

...“In order to entertain and impress an important out-of-town business associate, you made dinner reservations at Club Cammarata, a prestigious restaurant known to cater to a business clientele. Your reservations were for 7:00 pm on Jan 8, and you and your guest arrive promptly. Your table, however, was not ready, and you were kept waiting for one hour and fifteen minutes. Intermittent inquiries were received by the maitre’d with rude indifference. Consequently, your guest became extremely annoyed with the restaurant as well as with you. Write an appropriate complaint letter to the restaurant’s owner (Enrico Cammarata, 2 Merrimack Road, Merrimack, NH 03113).” Enrico Cammarata 2 Merrimack Road Merrimack NH 03113 Sunday, January 18th, 2015 Dear Sir/Madam, I have just returned from your prestigious restaurant which is known to cater to a business clientele: Club Cammarata. The purpose of this visitation was to impress an important out-of-town business associate. Our reservations at the popular club were for seven o’clock pm on January eighth. I am writing to express my strong dissatisfaction with the service of your restaurant. To begin with, the service of the restaurant was not at all what I had been led to expect from previous visits. My associate and I arrived at the scheduled time however, our table was not ready. This is unusual for an establishment with such high standards. Therefore it must be very clear that waiting for an hour and fifteen minutes for...

...To whom this may concern, I would like to bring to your attention an issue I have been experiencing with my services with T-Mobile USA, Inc. Starting in June or July of this year, I began to experience a lost of signal on my mobile device, the My Touch Slide 3G. I was on a phone call and the call dropped. When that call dropped, I never received another signal and the phone would display “emergency calls only” followed by “searching” signal. I tried various troubleshooting options and even waited a few days to see if the coverage would recover before I ended up calling T-Mobile customer care. When I called customer care, the representative proceeded to have me perform all the routine troubleshooting options before they decided to send me another My Touch Slide 3G because they could not figure out why the device would not recover a signal. Needless to say, I received the replacement My Touch Slide 3G and the phone worked for a few weeks and then I began to experience the same exact issue. Overall, I was sent a total of 3 different My Touch Slide 3G’s and they all would eventually lose signal permanently. After the 3rd replacement lost signal, I called customer care and they then decided that it is not the phone but that it is the SIM card I was using. I had the same SIM card since joining T-Mobile in 2006. After receiving the new “4G” SIM card, the phone started working. Then a few weeks later, it lost signal again. On 9-9-11I called into customer care again and after much...

...To the Manager of Pet World: I am writing to express my frustrations with a recent experience I had at your store. One week ago, I purchased Paws dog food for my pet at this location. I was surprised at what happened when I got home and used this bag of dog food. Despite being on the shelf to be sold that day, this dog food had long ago expired. To be exact, it had expired six and a half months prior to the date it was purchased. Since the bag had been on the shelf, I had assumed the food was good and acceptable to feed to my pet. I soon realized this was not the case. After feeding my dog this food, she became violently ill, vomiting for hours on end. I was forced to take her to the vet, as she was dehydrated and required medicine. Thousands of dollars later, I realized that her sickness could most definitely be attributed to the expired dog food I had unknowingly fed her. I have been a loyal customer of Pet World’s since it opened six years ago and have never experienced any issues with your store. I am both bothered and concerned by the fact that expired food was on the shelves of the store, and I am now hesitant to trust the quality of other products at your store. This issue could have affected a number of other pets as well, and I just hope that none of them became as ill as mine did. I hope to hear back from you about this unfortunate incident. Please contact me as soon as possible at (998) 867-0987 or via email at jjay@email.com. Sincerely, John Jay...

...November 30, 2002. For the urgent attention of: Mr. Darren Crone Sales Manager Soft Drink Unlimited 1834 Orange Street Downtown, Kingston. Dear Mr. Crone: NON-DELIVERY OF ORDER TS6813: FIFTY CAES OF SCHWEPPES SOFT DRINK On November 10, 2002 my company placed an emailed order with you for fifty (50) Shweppes Soft Drink, specifying forty (40) 2L cases and ten (10) 5L cases. The email included details of required delivery dates arising from the approaching Christmas season in order to cater to our loyal, repeating-purchasing customers. Your email reply confirmed our order and indicated that there would be no problems in meeting the specified delivery dates. Additionally the email also stated that the sizes of the ordered soft drinks were available to the request of our customers. I also phoned the company at the beginning of the week and I was assured that the supplies would be delivered, consequently this did not happen. I am therefore extremely concerned that the commitments which B.F. Ltd has given to valued customers can not be met because of your company’s failure to deliver the fifty (50) Schweppes Soft Drinks as guaranteed. Currently the sales staffs of my company are under intense pressure from customers who are involved, who are now threatening to withdraw their order worth a total of $100,500. As a result my company simply cannot afford to risk not doing business with such valuable customers, therefore am asking you to intervene personally in...

...This letter concerns information on my complaint submitted on 10/5/17 against Olshan Foundation Repair. My complaint is ID 12427584. I am writing in response to the last letter I received on 10/26/17. I still say that Olshan owes me ½ of my money for not fixing the repairs. I’m an elderly woman that lives alone and having problem seeing things, especially small things because I had a stroke and surgery on my eyes. With that said, Olshan did not explain to me verbal, but had me to sign a form. I thought I was signing so that I can make sure the representative was here at my home. So, he asked me to sign and I did. On the workrite form dated September 14, 2007 I saw that I sign the form, but no one else (the person that was here, a supervisor,...

...2207 Bridgepointe Pkwy. San Mateo, CA 94404 Subject: PSN Network Downage 2016 To the customer service department: On the morning of January 5th, 2016 I turned on my Playstation 4 to find that none of the online services were working. The message displayed on my screen noted the Playstation Network was undergoing maintenance. I then logged onto Playstation Network’s status page to see if I could find out if this was simply a problem with my internet connection. To my alarm, the web page displayed a red list of all the services that were unavailable. After searching the web for answers I found a thirdparty blog with the most amount of information on the downage. Because Playstation Network was not releasing any information on the issue, anonymous sources of the web were stating worsecase scenarios as fact. Rumors circulated the web of a possible distributed denialofservice attack. With the network working fine only a few days later, I know this was most likely not the case. I would have been much more comfortable as a consumer; however, if Playstation Network relayed clear communication about the problem from the start. I understand that regular maintenance is required to keep the Playstation Network running for all users. Scheduled maintenance with warning is completely warranted, and I appreciate how smoothly the network usually runs because of this. I do not, however, appreciate being kept in the dark while this service fails to function without warning...

...Premier Promos Chris Zajac South University Online Instructor: Dean Frear Premier Promos April 6, 2013 Ms. Arletta Sandusky Customer Services Premier Promos 2445 Bermiss Road Valdosta, GA 31602 Dear Ms. Sandusky, I am sending this letter in regards to a promotion by your company. In the ad, it stated we would receive free sample products. However, when I called your company I was asked to give my credit card number. It was only after I received the items that I was made aware what the arrangement truly was. It has since come to my attention that a mistake has been made concerning a payment taken from my account. When I first read your ad, I wanted to believe I had nothing to lose. Unfortunately, I was mistaken. I ordered several sample items on January 11. These included an insulated lunch sack, a portable power strip, and two garment-dyed sweatshirts. When I received your products, it was then I was notified I had to pay for the sample items if I decided to keep them. After further observation and consideration, I decided to return the products. On February 5, I received my credit card statement and noticed a charge of $258.20 from your company. I called immediately and spoke to Virginia. She assured me multiple times that the money would be credited back to my account, and that I should expect to see the credit on my next statement. I received my next statement March 3 and did not see the credit. Again I called, this time speaking to Melissa, who...

...“No Objection Letter” by unethical means by publishing notice in the least popular newspaper. Since the public could not be notified, they later complained about the pollution created by the company. The company tried to settle the objection of the public by good words and by giving gifts, but this doesn’t seem to last long. The company is now reluctant to use “incinerators”. Issues One major issue raised in the case is what the company should do to minimize the public complaints on pollution. Should the company also install incinerator? There are numerous factors related to the case such as ethical, environmental, legal, social, political, technological and economic. The company went against ethics by misleading the public by publishing notice on a least popular newspaper. The environmental issue is related to the pollution created by the company. The company was using out-dated technology by not using incinerator. Also it is an economic issue when it comes to installing the incinerator. Facts to support the existence of complaints by the public 1. The notice was published in the least popular newspaper so the villagers didn’t notice it. 2. The objection of the villagers against the pollution was attempted to be silenced by good words and gifts to authority. 3. The company sent a staff member to the plant location to make personal contact with the members of the VDC and this staff played an important role in obtaining the no objection letters. Alternatives...
