protest letter

Formal written grievance

A protest letter is a formal written complaint or objection addressed to an authority, organization, or decision-maker.

Unlike casual complaints, protest letters document grievances officially and often demand specific action: She sent a protest letter to the city council about the rezoning decision.

The format implies the writer expects a response or resolution.
