complaint letter

Formal dissatisfaction document

A complaint letter is a formal written communication expressing dissatisfaction with a product, service, or situation and typically requesting some remedy.

Unlike casual gripes, complaint letters follow conventions—stating the problem, providing details, and specifying desired resolution: I sent a complaint letter to the airline about my lost luggage.

The form persists even as delivery shifts to email.
