Важно
В жалобе нельзя быть слишком грубым, но и слишком слабым тоже не нужно. Хороший тон: polite but clear.
Формула B1 complaint email
I am writing about... + problem + details + request + polite closing.
Practice upgrade: жалоба без агрессии
Хорошая complaint на B1 состоит из четырёх частей: problem + detail + request + polite close.
Типичная ошибка
Фраза You must fix it now! звучит агрессивно. Лучше: Could you please check it and let me know what can be done?
