Dear Sir or Madam,

Sample Letter Of Complaint (Formal Letter)

Dear Sir,

I am writing this letter to bring to your notice that how the change that was made recently to the train movement has affected so many people.

I am a Personal Assistant and I work as an assistant for the Chief Editor at the City Publishing House. I live in 88 street,South Wall,Rome and regularly commute to my office using your train.

But sadly, the train I take to get to my office no longer stops at our station and as a result, I need to travel a few extra miles to reach the City Centre Station which is always congested in the morning hours, which makes me get to work late. I happen not to be the only one that has been affected by the sudden change in the train timetable even with the introduction of the new train schedule, the daily movement for employees like myself has become very difficult, and that makes your service unreliable. Because of this problem, many commuters arrive late to work. This situation is affecting their productivity, making them very upset with your service.

I believe the solution of this problem is that you revert to the previous schedule and organize the movement of more trains during the rush hours. If this would not be possible, then you can at least add more carriages to boost the space. There will be tremendous comfort for everyone that is affected if you can settle this problem as soon as possible.

Thank you and I hope to hear your reply soon.

Yours faithfully,
Patrick Don

Sample Letter Of Complaint (Formal Letter)

I am writing this letter to make a complaint about my experience in your store last week.

I regularly visit your store and have never had any issues picking out what I need, which is great and means I get to buy what I want fast and vacate the store. But on this particular day, I was in a rush and needed to get an item but could not locate it. I then proceeded to ask one of the attendants for help but she snapped at me and asked that I search for it myself.

Feeling angry and awful could not describe my emotions at that moment. I also felt disrespected, as this scenario happened in front of few customers. It was embarrassing and I had to leave the store without buying anything. I would let this situation slide since it’s the first time it is happening.

I would like you to rectify this issue and train your staff to respect customers irrespective of the mood they are in. The scenario would have created a wrong impression in the heart of those that witness it, which would be bad for business if it’s spread around the community. Therefore several cautions need to be taken.

Looking forward to a better experience from you.

Yours faithfully,
Fizza.

Dear Sir or Madam,

Sample Letter Of Request (Formal Letter)

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing this letter to claim my insurance for an item I lost while travelling during the holiday.

I lost my luggage which contained my clothes, shoes and an old family heirloom, a diamond-encrusted necklace to be precise. This luggage contained some other valuable things and vital documents. I have patronised your insurance service recently and my insurance number is 23567892.

I travelled to Maimi for the holiday and I remember picking up my luggage at the airport and putting it into the taxi I hired. It was a carnival period in Miami at that time, when the driver got to a certain point the street was full and there was a traffic jam, I alighted from the taxi and decided to enjoy the view. I offloaded my luggage and went around the carnival. I got so fascinated with the things I saw and dropped my luggage to take a picture when I finished and wanted to pick up my luggage it was nowhere to be found. I searched everywhere but couldn’t find it.

As per the travel insurance, I am entitled to receive the coverage of the lost items. I am not so disturbed about the clothes and shoes but I am worried about the necklace and documents in the luggage because the necklace is a rare piece and has been in my family for over 50 years. It is said to cost over half a million rupees. I would like to claim the necklace price as it was a very costly necklace. I would appreciate it if you could transfer the money into my account. I have attached a copy of my insurance certificate and a copy of my insurance payment history to this letter.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully,
David Hassan

Dear Colleagues,

I am writing this letter to appreciate you all for a superb birthday present. You all know how much I enjoy reading, and the collection of books you gave me were my favourite.

I wasn’t expecting any gift from you guys but you surprised me with such lovely gifts. I can’t thank you all enough for this kind gesture. It is a great privilege to be working with such kind-hearted and observant people.

I have just taken possession of the first copy, and there is lots of useful information in it. I have already made 3 well-written articles using the journal that was attached to the gift. I can’t wait to finish reading it all, I am sure there are lots of things I will learn from it.

Thank you again for the gift. It is well appreciated.

Yours sincerely,

Sample Letter of Apology( Informal Letter)

Dear Rohan,

I’m writing to communicate my inability to meet you on the 30 of March due to some work-related problems. As you know my new boss is a bit harsh and he can be very demanding. He schedules impromptu meetings without prior notice which I can’t do without attending. The trip to your city was a business trip with my boss. I thought I would get some free time to meet up with you.

On the day we were to meet, he called and requested my immediate attention in the office and I ended up being delayed for more than the time I allotted hence the reason for not being able to meet up with you.

I know it has been a while since we’ve met and I was eagerly looking forward to this occasion. Would you mind if I propose another date? If you haven’t got any other commitments, we can meet sometime next week. I’ll be free then. Now if that isn’t fine with you, feel free to suggest another date and time.

Waiting to hear from you.

Yours sincerely,
Mia Kalon.

Dear Manu,

I hope this letter finds you in the best of health. With immense pleasure and joy, I would like to share my happiness and break this charming news to you that I am about to tie the nuptial knot with my long time girlfriend Ria. This great moment of my life will be in two weeks.

Ria is fair in complexion, tall, fun to be with, loving, caring, and she has a very good sense of humour. I’m sure you would love to meet her and she is longing to meet you too because I have told her so much about you.

It will be a great pleasure and honour if you grace this occasion which comes up on the 24th of April at our hometown in Pune with your presence.

Let me avail you the opportunity to make my day more special because you are going to be my best man, this means you must arrive at least a week before the wedding.

There are so many fun activities that have been planned out to take place before the wedding like skiing, going on a picnic with the whole family, having a bonfire, most especially my bachelor’s party and much more. It would be an honour for me and my family.

Looking forward to seeing you

Yours sincerely,
Omar
