complaint letter is addressed to a company regarding improper employee behavior. The
third complaint letter is a follow up letter that should be sent if the first complaint letter
goes unanswered. The fourth complaint letter is a final complaint letter after the first two
letters have been ignored. The last complaint letter demands a refund for a product.
These samples should be used by individuals or entities who wish to express their

bought was somehow defective.
I don’t know if you have received this information from other customers, but I think this matter
is worth looking into. Please contact me regarding my [product name[, and I will be happy to
give you any further information.
