Writing a letter of complaint can be tricky, but the most important thing to remember is to be direct and
tasteful. No one will take your complaint seriously if you are ranting and raving. Take a look at this
example complaint letter for ideas on how you should approach writing a letter of complaint.
56 Disgruntled Street
Somewhere Unhappy
1AM MAD
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing today to complain of the poor service I received from your company on June 12, 2008. I was
visited by a representative of That Awful Company, Mr. Madman, at my home on that day.
Mr. Madman was one hour late for his appointment and offered nothing by way of apology when he
arrived at noon. Your representative did not remove his muddy shoes upon entering my house, and
consequently left a trail of dirt in the hallway. Mr. Madman then proceeded to present a range of
products to me that I had specifically told his assistant by telephone I was not interested in. I repeatedly
tried to ask your representative about the products that were of interest to me, but he refused to deal
with my questions. We ended our meeting after 25 minutes without either of us having accomplished
anything.
I am most annoyed that I wasted a morning (and half a day's vacation) waiting for Mr. Madman to show
up. My impression of That Awful Company has been tarnished, and I am now concerned about how my
existing business is being managed by your firm. Furthermore, Mr. Madman's inability to remove his
muddy shoes has meant that I have had to engage the services, and incur the expense, of a professional
carpet cleaner.
I trust this is not the way That Awful Company wishes to conduct business with valued customers—I
have been with you since the company was founded and have never encountered such treatment
before. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss matters further and to learn of how you propose to
prevent a similar situation from recurring. I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
V. Angry

An example employee recommendation letter will help you draft a shining letter of reference
Anita Job was employed as an Administrative Assistant from 2002 – 2005. During her time at Inatech,
Anita was responsible for office support, including word processing, scheduling appointments and
creating brochures, newsletters, and other office literature.
Anita fulfilled employment responsibilities with little supervision. The position required interaction with
the public, as well as the ability to liaise between different departments. Success was dependant on
strong communication and interpersonal skills.
I am happy to act as a reference for Anita and can speak to her customer service skills, work ethic,
computer literacy, and professionalism. Please feel free to contact me should you require further
information.
Sincerely,
Tom Thomson
