Response Letter to a Complaint
[A complaint letter is a blanket term for a large number of reasons for which a complaint could be registered. This kind of letter is written in response to a complaint. For instance, a customer might complain to a dealer about the unsatisfactory nature of his product or service and the dealer, in turn, might take the issue up with the wholesaler. When writing a response to one such letter, it is only proper to acknowledge one’s liability and assume the responsibility for providing solutions to the problems caused to the recipient. You need to modify this sample according to your needs.]
