Answer

a) Letter of Complaint and Its Features

What is a Letter of Complaint?

A letter of complaint is a formal or informal written communication sent to a company, organization, or individual to express dissatisfaction with a product, service, or behavior. Its primary purpose is to highlight a problem, seek a solution, or request compensation.

Four Features of a Good Letter of Complaint

  1. Clear and Concise Subject Line

    • The subject should directly state the issue (e.g., "Complaint Regarding Defective Mobile Phone").
    • Helps the recipient understand the problem immediately.
  2. Polite but Firm Tone

    • Use respectful language but firmly state the issue.
    • Avoid aggressive or emotional wording; stick to facts.
  3. Detailed Description of the Problem

    • Mention what went wrong, when it happened, and how it affected you.
    • Include specifics (e.g., product model, date of purchase, invoice number).
  4. Request for a Solution

    • Clearly state what action you expect (refund, replacement, repair, apology).
    • Provide a reasonable deadline for resolution if needed.

SubjectComplaint Regarding Poor Quality of Purchased Smartphone
SalutationDear Sir/Madam,
Body

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the smartphone I purchased from your shop on **2076/10/20**. The model is **Samsung Galaxy A12 (SM-A127F)**, and the invoice number is **INV-4567**.

Unfortunately, the phone developed **severe battery drainage issues** within just **five days** of purchase. Despite being fully charged, the battery lasts only **two hours** under normal usage. I have tried resetting the device and updating the software, but the problem persists. This is clearly a **manufacturing defect**, and I believe the phone should either be **replaced** or **refunded** as p

I had high expectations from your shop due to its reputation for quality products. However, this experience has been highly disappointing. I kindly request you to **inspect the phone** and provide a **prompt solution** within **seven days** from the date of this letter. I am also attaching a copy of the invoice for your reference.

I trust that you will take appropriate action to resolve this matter satisfactorily. I look forward to your positive response at your earliest convenience.

Thank you for your attention to this issue. I hope for a fair and quick resolution.

Closing & signatureYours sincerely,Ramesh AdhikariKathmandu-4
