Letter of Dissatisfaction

A letter of dissatisfaction is a letter that you send when you are dissatisfied with something. Common uses of this letter include complaining about customer service, complaining about a product you bought, or complaining about the actions someone took against you. For example, if you had a dispute with a business, and you did not agree with the way they handled the situation, you would write them a letter of dissatisfaction stating your feelings on the issue.

Steps

Starting to Write

1

In most cases letters of dissatisfaction carry no legal weight and the recipient is not obliged to act on any demands.

2

That being said, being polite and clearly explaining the issue can go a long way. Many companies have standard procedures when reasonable complaints are made, such as offering a coupon on a next purchase – so do not write in anger.

3

If you are looking to take the issue further provide any names, dates and other evidence to support your claims.

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing to express the poor service I received when I called your customer service line on January 15th, 2009.

 

I had originally purchased an external hard drive from your company. When I got home, I was having trouble setting it up. So, I read the information sheet and decided to call your customer service department.

 

After being put on hold for over 10 minutes, I was greeted by a rather unprofessional employee. They kept on interrupting me, they were rude, and they offered no real solution to my problem. In the end, I returned the hard drive to the store, and it is safe to say I will never be purchasing another one of your products.

 

If you truly value your customers, I highly suggest you teach your customer service representatives how to deal with people.

 

Regretfully,

Sammie  T.  Shaw

Dear Mr. Dearborn

Re: Salary Dissatisfaction

I have been working with Wholesale Fruit for 6 years now and would like to raise the issue of my salary.

 

It is my understanding that I am still the lowest paid employee among colleagues, and although there have been some increases, I feel that I am at an unfair disadvantage. I have always had good feedback on my performance and never required disciplinary action, so I am at a loss about the decision making process.

 

Perhaps there has been some kind of oversight within human resources, or an issue that I have not been made aware of. Therefore would it be possible to arrange a meeting to discuss the matter sometime soon? I look forward to your response.

 

Regards,

Neville Prince
