This is a kind reminder, you have homework, you have to write a letter of complaint.
Remember
that a letter of complaint is usually written in a semi-formal style. The main purpose is to deal with a problem situation when other attempts (i.e. phone contacts) have failed to rectify the situation. The complaint letter formalizes a problem situation by putting it into writing and is usually the last resort to try to get a situation resolved.
Effective complaint letters should be:
• Concise - can be understood quickly.
• Authoritative - are well written and professionally presented
• Factual - enable the reader to see immediately the relevant details, dates, requirements
• Constructive - with positive statements, suggesting positive actions - encourage action and quicker decisions.
• Friendly - with a considerate, cooperative and complimentary tone because the reader responds positively to the writer and wants to help.

Description and explanation are key functions for this task, and a review will normally include a recommendation to the reader.

application form or CV, in which case the letter should include the information
you would put in a CV but presented in sentences and paragraphs. It is used to apply
for a job. It’s your opportunity to say why you want the job and to present
yourself as a candidate for the position in a way that impresses a prospective
employer and makes you seem the perfect person for the job.
