A LETTER OF COMPLAINT

Writing Tip

When we write a formal letter of complaint about a problem (e.g. something we have bought, the services in a restaurant or hotel, etc), we divide it into three parts: • In the introduction, we state the reason for writing , (i.e. say what I who we are complaining about and why). • In the main body , * we state our complaints and give examples and/or reasons to support them. We use a separate paragraph for each topic. • In the conclusion , we state what action we expect to be taken. * The main body can consist of one or more paragraphs, depending on the number of specific complaints we have. The tone of our letter must be polite and we should never be rude.

Reason for writing:

Paragraph 1

Complaints and examples

Paragraph 2 - 4

Action to be taken

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to complain about the poor service I received when I travelled with your airline on 30th January. I flew from London to New York on flight TMN 108 and I was completely dissatisfied.

Firstly, the on-board service was very slow and careless. When I asked for a glass of water it took the flight attendant half an hour to bring one, and the glass which she brought was dirty.

What is more, the flight attendants were all very rude. One spilt a drink on me and didn't apologise or help to clean it up. They were the complete opposite of the "helpful and friendly" staff you describe in your advertisement.

Furthermore, the food was awful. It was cold and tasted horrible. Again, this was quite unlike the "delicious in-flight meal" you advertised.

I am very disappointed indeed. I would like a full refund for the cost of my flight as well as an apology for the appalling service. I hope to hear from you regarding this matter as soon as possible.

Yours faithfully,

Ken Hampton

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to complain about the Caribbean cruise I went on with your company. I travelled from 3 till 17 April, and I was shocked by your standards.

Firstly, I was struck by the size and condition of the cabin. It was small and dirty.

Moreover, I ordered a private bathroom but I had to share a bathroom with other passengers.

To make matters worse, the food was of poor quality, though your advertisement you promise delicious food.

I would like a full refund for the cost of the cruise. I hope to hear from you as soon as possible.

Yours faithfully,

Brian Wilson
