[Your Name] [Your Address] [Your City], [Street], [Zip] [Your Phone number] [Your Email Address] [President of the Nasty Company] [Corporate Headquarters Address] [City], [State], [Zip] [The Date] Dear [sir/madam], It is only with great regret that I feel I am forced to write you this letter. I have now been a loyal customer of [Nasty Company] for [duration] years, and have seen the service go from being highly satisfactory to the sorry state it is in today. Specifically, in the last [duration], I have been forced on [number] occassions to wait [duration] hours in order to [activity]. This is, of course, an inexcusable wait for [service] anywhere, but for a company that depends upon the good will of its customers to impose this kind of wait, I find simply incomprehensible. I am aware of the intense competition in the [service] sector, and have followed recent news of mergers and consolidations. I understand that it is in everyone's interests to cut costs. However, serving the shareholders at the expense of the customers is a short-sighted, and finally disastrous policy. As many business experts like to say, the free marketplace is self-correcting, and, while we can agree that we are not discussing a free marketplace, you do still have some competitors. Therefore, I feel that it is imperative that I inform you of the situation. For me to abandon [Nasty Company] without explanation does no one any good. I intend to give [Nasty Company] one more opportunity to offer me the level of service I expect. If, in fact, my expectations are not met, I fully intend to cease all business with [Nasty Company], and permanently desist in recommending the services of [Nasty Company] to my friends and colleagues. I appreciate you taking the time to read my concerns. Sincerely, [Your name]
