Complaint Letter

A Complaint Letter is a type of letter written to address any type of wrong-doing, offense,
grievance, resentment arising out of a product, service, etc. It is used to raise your concern
about unfair things and seek a productive outcome. It is a fundamental right and duty of a
citizen to seek justice arising out of any injustice, and the first step toward it is, filing a
Complaint. It inspires other troubled consumers, influences the concerned authorities to take
proper action, and makes the defaulters more liable, responsible, and responsive.
It can be of the following types-
Personal Complaint letter- The type of complaint letter you write on your own individual level
pertaining to your individual grievances is referred to as a personal complaint letter.
Professional Complaint letter- It is the type of complaint letter that is written on behalf of the
organization pertaining to issues that are affecting the organization as a whole.

Subject: Complaint letter regarding the poor maintenance of the garden and improper waste disposal
Sir,
I am Shawn Mendez, a resident of Rory Lane. I am writing to bring to your notice the poor maintenance of the
garden around our residential area and the improper disposal of waste. The garden around the residential area
was watered regularly, and grass shrubs were trimmed and maintained neatly in the beginning. It has been
more than a month now since any kind of maintenance is done in the garden. We have tried contacting the
person in charge, but every effort has just been in vain.
Another growing issue is the problem of waste disposal. There were people from the corporation collecting
garbage for disposal every two days, but it has been more than a week now since they have collected any
garbage from our area. This has led to the accumulation of waste, and people have started dumping it in the
corner of the street as they have no other choice. Kindly look into this and the maintenance of the garden as it
would become a huge mess if this continues. It would be highly appreciated if you could also inform the
residents that all garbage would be collected and not to throw them out around the street corners.
Thank you in advance.
Yours faithfully,
Signature

Subject: Complaint about a damaged product received
Sir/Ma’am,
I had purchased a black top from your online store. I received the product today, and I tried filing a return
request as the size is smaller than the one I had ordered, and the cloth is torn on the left side. For some reason,
the return request is not being filed. The page is either getting redirected or stuck. I have tried multiple times,
and I could not go through with it. Can you please check and let me know if the return request has been filed
for the order no. 3049. If not, kindly let me know what I should do to return the product.
I am attaching herewith photographs of the damaged portion of the top and the opening video for your
reference.
Thank you
Yours sincerely,
