Formal Grievance
I am writing to raise a formal grievance in accordance with the company’s grievance procedure.
Over recent months, I have experienced ongoing difficulties relating to my workload and the manner in which concerns I have raised have been handled. I have attempted to address these issues informally; however, the situation has not improved and I now feel it is appropriate to set out my concerns formally.
In particular, my workload has increased significantly without consultation, resulting in sustained pressure that I believe is unreasonable and unsustainable. I have raised this matter on several occasions, most recently on [date], but no meaningful steps have been taken to address it.
I am committed to my role and to carrying out my responsibilities to a high standard. However, the current situation is affecting both my wellbeing and my ability to work effectively. I am therefore requesting that this matter be reviewed and discussed as part of a formal grievance process, with a view to reaching a fair and constructive resolution.
I would welcome the opportunity to meet to discuss this further and am happy to provide any additional information required.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I look forward to your response.
Yours sincerely,
John Smith

United UtilitiesDear Sir or Madam,
Discoloured Tap Water – Formal Complaint
I am writing to raise a formal complaint regarding the ongoing discolouration of the tap water at my property.
Over recent weeks, the water supplied to my home has frequently appeared discoloured, with a noticeable brown or cloudy appearance. This has occurred on multiple occasions and is not limited to initial draw-off after periods of non-use. The issue has affected both hot and cold taps.
I understand that temporary discolouration can sometimes occur following maintenance work; however, the frequency and persistence of this issue is causing concern. The water does not appear suitable for normal domestic use during these periods, and I am particularly concerned about its safety and quality.
I would be grateful if this matter could be investigated and clarified. In particular, I would appreciate confirmation of:
- the cause of the discolouration
- whether any work is currently being carried out in the area
- whether the water supply is safe to use
If appropriate, I would also welcome advice on any steps I should take in the meantime.
I look forward to your response and to a resolution of this matter. Thank you for your attention.
Yours faithfully,
Jane Ryan

Admiral InsuranceDear Sir or Madam,
Delay in Processing Motor Insurance Claim
I am writing to request an update regarding my motor insurance claim following a road traffic accident involving my vehicle.
The claim was submitted on [date], and I was advised at the time that the matter would be progressed promptly. However, several weeks have now passed and I have not received any meaningful update or indication as to when the claim is likely to be resolved.
Given the time that has elapsed, I am concerned about the lack of progress. I would be grateful if you could clarify:
- the current status of my claim
- whether any information is outstanding
- the reason for the delay
- and when I can reasonably expect the matter to be concluded
If any further documentation or action is required from me, please let me know as soon as possible so that this can be addressed without further delay.
I appreciate that claims can take time to assess; however, the length of time involved in this case now appears excessive, and I would welcome a clear explanation and timetable.
Thank you for your attention. I look forward to your response.
Yours faithfully,
Michael Johnson

[Landlord’s Name]Dear [Landlord’s Name],
Ongoing Damp and Black Mould – Formal Complaint
I am writing to formally raise concerns regarding the ongoing damp and black mould issues at the above property.
As previously reported to you on 12th February 2025, there is persistent dampness and visible black mould affecting parts of the property, including the bedroom and the bathroom. Despite notifying you of this matter, the issue has not been remedied and continues to worsen.
The presence of damp and black mould is affecting the condition of the property and raises concerns regarding health and safety. I understand that landlords have a responsibility to ensure that rented accommodation is maintained in a safe and habitable condition, and that issues of this nature are addressed within a reasonable timeframe.
I am requesting that this matter be investigated and resolved as a priority. Please confirm what steps will be taken to rectify the problem and when the necessary remedial work will be carried out.
If this issue is not addressed promptly, I will have no option but to refer the matter to the relevant authorities for further investigation and advice.
I would prefer to resolve this matter directly and amicably and look forward to your response.
Yours sincerely,
Liam McKinney
