June 15, 2020
To Whom It May
Concern,
I am writing
today to complain of the poor service I received from your company on June 12,
2020. 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.

2015 Dear Sir, We have received your letter of
complaint dated July 21, 04 regarding the shortage of quantity. It is
probably the first time that we get such complaints from a customer regarding
the shortage of quantity. Whereas
you are our valued customer, we cannot deny any human error made by our
dispatch workers. As a large concern in the country, we have to deal with
large quantities each day and therefore a sudden error is possible. We,
therefore, are dispatching the shortage quantity as per your order. We expect
your co-ordination as before. With
thanks. Salam

Rankon Electronics September 22, 04 Sales Manager Ref: Your letter dated September
20, 2004 Dear Sir, We regret that you had to take the
trouble of writing to us. Your letter of Sept. 20, 04 must-have crossed with
our letter No: 4k-21 of Sept. advising you of the dispatch of goods. Due to power failure in the
factory, the production was held up for six (6) days. With a large number of
orders -on hand, we were under serious pressure and therefore we had to work
extra hours as soon as the power supply started. In those days we were too
busy to fit the problem that the communication chain between factory and administrative
building was badly hampered. As a result, communication with customers also
faced serious problems. We are
extremely sorry about this delay and hope you will realize that it was only
due to circumstances beyond our control. We expect that you will receive the
goods as ordered within September 25, 04. Yours

Dear
Mr. Popon,
We
have received your recent letter dated May 15, 20XX concerning the services in
the Rio Supermarket. Thank you for writing and giving us an opportunity to look
into this matter. It is important to us to know of issues that arise with our
customers, as we want to ensure full customer satisfaction, especially with a
long-time client such as yourself.
Mrs.
Revera, whose actions are the basis of your complaint, has been a store manager
at the Rio Supermarket for three years. For all the years she has worked, there
has been no adverse incidents connected with her behavior. We will converse
with her and test her for professional suitability. In the meanwhile, I would
like to assure you of our interest and concern. We are always anxious to be
informed of situations that could adversely affect good relations with our
customers.
According
to the information at the office center that made the delivery of cooled
chicken to our stores, the quality of the consignment was proved by the quality
experts at the place of production. All the papers and certificates were filled
correctly. We made an investigation at the store where you bought the spoiled
product, which showed the appropriate storage of cooled products, including
cooled chickens. We are sure that a bad-quality product was delivered by our
supplier. We filed a concern with the company and are waiting for a solution.
For the past week, we had no concerns about spoiled cooled chickens, so it may
be an individual case.
We
realize that this is a substantial problem, and apologize for the situation
that has evolved. We would like to send you a $100 gift card to purchase any
product around the United Kingdom. Please accept our apology for this spoiled
product. We promise that we will improve our supplying system with reliable
suppliers to avoid this problem from happening in the future.
Sincerely,
