Critique a Complaint Letter Before You Send It

You have written a complaint letter and you want to check it before sending. The difference between a complaint letter that gets resolved and one that gets filed is usually tone, clarity of outcome, and evidence quality, not the severity of the grievance. This reviews all three and gives you three specific edits before you send.

**Critique** the complaint letter:
1. Assess the tone: is it likely to put the recipient on the defensive, or does it make it easy for them to resolve the situation without losing face?
2. Assess the clarity of the desired outcome: does the letter state clearly what the sender wants to happen, or does it leave the resolution unspecified?
3. Assess the evidence: does the letter include the specific dates, reference numbers, and account of events the recipient needs to investigate and respond?
4. Identify any elements that are likely to reduce the letter's effectiveness: excessive length, emotional language, or threats that undercut the main request
5. Suggest the three most important edits before sending
