Further things to consider when writing claim letters to business partners
Claim Letters
Claim letters are persuasive letters sent by customers to companies to identify problems with products or services. Customers write claim letters to express their dissatisfaction with the purchased products and get compensation. In most cases, claim letters are accompanied by supporting documents to give a backup to the claim. There are many occasions you may find claim letters useful. Maybe you have bought a defective product from a company, you slipped on an unmarked wet floor in a supermarket, or you want to notify someone of unsatisfactory work or breach of contract. The best way to air your claim in such situations is through a claim letter.
When writing claim letters, you need to state clearly and honestly what went wrong. If it is a faulty product, provide its details such as the place and date of purchase. Mention what you expect from the company as per the agreed terms. Maintain a professional and assertive tone even though you feel that you have been wronged. If there are forms you need to fill, include them with the letter for faster approval. Close the letter on a courteous tone and thank the recipient for his/her anticipated help.
