HOW TO WRITE A LETTER 0F COMPLAINT


Right addressee
While writing a letter of complaint care should be taken to see that it is addressed
to the proper person or department and that it is sent as soon as the error is detected.
This will ensure speedy adjustment of the complaint or claim.
Polite Tone
Since the purpose of a letter of complaint is not to start a quarrel but to point out
mistakes and get these rectified, the tone of the letter must be firm but polite. There is
nothing to be gained by using insulting language and insinuating that the seller of

The writer must give full details of the goods and the date of delivery so that the

and friendly.

letter. If, in addition to the tolerant attitude, an appeal is made to the sense of fai
play of the reader his claim is certain to be met and his complaint adjusted. It has
rightly been said that a tactfully written letter of complaint by itself brings about a
proper adjustment.
CLAIMS
Earlier in this chapter it was suggested that the writer of a letter of complaint
must specify the manner in which he wants the complaint to be adjusted. This is the
"claim" part of the letter. When, however, the writer is not sure as to what should be a
fair settlement he should leave it to the adjuster (i.e. the person who is in a position to
redress the grievance of the complainant). Provided the latter has shown a tolerant
attitude and a strong appeal has been made tothe sense of fair-play of the reader the
adjuster is likely to grant even more than the writer would have otherwise demanded.
How to put in a Claim
Beginners have great difficulty in striking the right balance between courtesy and
tact on the one hand and firmness on the other. Either their letters become curt or
they are apologetic. The right note is struck if the writer begins the letter by putting
in a word of praise for the þromptness with which the ordered goods were delivered o
other good qualities of the service rendered. He should then go on to explain the
manner in which he h£s been inconvenienced or put to loss by the defect about which
he is complaining. The writer should express regret for making the complaint but
should add that the defect is too serious to be ignored. It should also be politely
suggested that the reputation of the seller is likely to suffer if such complaints and
claims are allowed to pass unadjusted.

and delivered 200 caskets to my clients. It is a small matter considering the many years of
satisfactory dealings that we have had and in the normal-course I would not have mentioned it.
But I am sure you would like to check up with your packing department and root out any
problem that might be there.

Dear Sir,
Ihave been a depositor in the Jullunder branch of your bank for the last 15 years.
Yesterday Ivisited the bank ofice to ask for my passbook which has not been returned for
more than a month. At first the clerk at the Savings Account counter seemed to ignore my
lquestion. When I raised my voice he rudely informed me that I should not disturb him as he
was attending to his ledger. I waited for 15 minutes and then when I repeated my request he
informed me, without looking up from the ledger, that my book was not ready and that I
should come for it the "day after tomorrow". The attitude of the clerk was most offensive and in
spite of my repeated requests he refused to give me his name.
Even if the poor sèrvice provided by your branch office can be overlooked, the rude
behaviour of the clerk certainly caDñot. I have sent a copy of this letter to the manager of your
Jullunder braich with instructions to close my account and transfer the balance to my credit to

Report writing is the direct outcome of the gigantism and in Europe,of moder

Before the Industrial Revolution
and branches were unheard of, report writing was not required. The sole

enough
around him in the evening and asked them what business been Projections
transacted during the dav. His assistants would then submit an oral
report to him. Today, however, business is differently ordered and
patterned. Rapid and cheap means of communication have brought
into existence large business organizations, with several
departments and branches spread over the country and even
overseas. It is not possible for the manager or director to rush
around trying to find out what is happening in the organization. The modern business
executive sits behinda desk- in an air-conditioned office- and keeps track of what
is happening in the different departments and the distant units of his organization by
reading the detailed reports that are sent to him by his departmental heads and
branch managers.
In spite of the complexity of the modern business world oral reports are still often
used. An oral report may be defined as an oral presentation of factual information.
Oralreports are different from written reports in two ways -
a) written reports strive to be very correct and accurate, oràl reports are often
casual.
b) In an oral report it is the speaker who controls the pace of the report, in a
written report it is the reader.
The British Association for Commercial and Industrial Education has defined a
written report as{ "a document, in which a given problem is examined for the purpose
of conveying information, reporting findings, putting forward ideas and, sometimes.
i aaking recommendations.")Simply put, a report is a communication from a persoan
who has information to a person whowants to use the information. Such reports when
purposefully written often provide the business executive with a workable basis for
action,
KICDS OF REPORTS
Reports may be classified in one of the following ways:
1 On the Basis of Law
a) Statutory Reports : Statutory reports are those required to be written Dy
law. In the case of companies they include the Statutory Report, the Aud1tor
Report, the Director's Report and reports by inspectors and committe
appointed to investigate the company's affairs.
129
Reports

b) Non-statutory Reports : Non-statutory reports are not required by 1aw:


They merely help the snmooth and efficient functioning of busines and bu
good-will. They include reports by directors. to shareholderg on speclal
proposals, reports by subcommittees like a finance committee, allotment
committee etc. and reports by secretaries to directors and the chairman on
special aspects of the functioning of the organization.
2
On the Basis of the Number of People Drafting them
a) Individual Reports : These reports are written by only ONE person, tor
example, Auditor's Report or Company Secretary's Report. In these reports
stenographer might take down the report .and type or take the heIp
assistants but only one person would be held responsible for it namely Auditor
or the Company Secretary.
A report written by an individual may be sent in the formn of a lette,
however, the report is likely to be a tong one with several sub-titles and
sections then it should be written in the form of an impersonal statement witn
a covering letter.
Reports by ndividuals must be written in the first person singular and they
are of great use to the report writer himself as they enable him t0 give
expression to his talent and ability. Reports by secretaries_and experts come in
this category. The report must be signed bythe individual writing t.
Short reports, sent by individuals. tend to be personal in nature.They usually
involve a personal relationship and concern a personal investigation.
b) Committee Reports : n these reports all the members of the committee
share responsibility.. Reports written by commíttees or sub-committees are
more impersonal in tone and formal in phraseology. They usually contain
phrases like "the committee came to the conclusion" or "the committee was of

follow a set form - they could be formal as when an expert reports to the
management on staff reduction proposals. Orthey could be informa] enough to
be sent by email, as when a worker reports to his supervisor on a job entrusted
to him.
c) Project Reports : These reports are written for such proposed business
organizations which have become realities. They project how the organization
would performin the future, thus providing a guideline for financial planning.
d) Inspection Reports : Inspection Reports are written after an inspection is
carried out to detect defects or irregularities in the company's system of work
e) First Information Report (FIR):AF.I.R. (First Information Report) is one
more factual or information based report. It is the first report that is filed in a
police station in the event of amurder, robbery or crime and it is the first
report submitted to the management of an organization in the event of a
disaster or crisis.
f) Feasibility Report : These reports examine the practicality andadvisability
of following a course of action. They answer the question: Would this plan or
proposal work? Such reports are mostly internal and are writtento advice on
matters like launching a new product of opening a new business organization.
They are also prepared on the suitability of a location of a proposed factory.
The focus in these reports is on the decision of stopping or proceeding with the
proposal. As the role here is not of persuading the reader to accept the
decision but that of presenting the decision immediately, the following things
are to be considered
The decision should be announced immediately.
"A detailed description of the background and problem necessitating the
proposal should be provided.
Benefits of the proposal should be discussed.
Problems arising from it should be described.
Costs associated with the proposal should be calculated.
The time frame required for the proposal should be written.
g) Investigative Report: Investigative reports are written either to establish
the.cause of an event or to document violations of the law. This help the
decision makers to make conclusions about an accident, fnd a solution to a
problem or to preserve evidence of what happened. These reports deliver data
for a specific situation without offering any kind of interpretation or
recommendations. These reports normally follow the direct pattern in whicn
there are three segments namely introduction, body and summary. The body
comprises of the facts, findings or discussion which are organized by time.
component, importance, criteria or convention.
