To whom it may concern:
I am writing to inform you that the product I’ve ordered from your company has not yet arrived. On September 25th, I ordered the brand new Rose Gold iPhone 6s.
I waited two months because I understand that you have a lot of customers. However, according to your previous email, it was supposed to be shipped two weeks ago. I love your products and will continue to be a customer in the future.
I hope this letter will encourage you to look into this matter. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
(My name in cursive)
(My name)
(My address)
(City, State, Zip Code)
(My email)
Could you go into detail just a bit more, a compaint letter (from what I was taught) should have 3-4 parragraphs with at least 3 sentences each. other than that it sound good :)
I think this is fine as you have written it. The sentence about being a continuing customer is unnecessary, but it's okay. When a company fears losing customers because of poor service, they might be more inclined to respond. Too many paragraphs, too many words, might discourage a flunky from reading your letter. Keep it short and to the point.
Thank you both for your answers! I left out the 'I'll still be a customer' part, and in my study guide the letter isn't that long, which is why I didn't add that many sentences.

Your complaint letter is generally formatted correctly. Below is a breakdown of the different sections of the letter and how they should be formatted:
1. Date: The date should be placed at the top of the letter, aligned with the left margin. It should include the month, day, and year.
2. Sender's Address: Your address should be placed after the date, aligned with the left margin. It should include your name, address, city, state, and zip code.
3. Recipient's Address: The recipient's address should be placed after your address, with a few lines of space in between. It should include the company name, address, and city, state, and zip code.
4. Salutation: The salutation should be addressed "To whom it may concern:" followed by a colon. It should be left-aligned, below the recipient's address.
5. Body of the Letter: The content of the letter should be left-aligned and single-spaced. Start with a clear and concise introduction, state your concerns, explain the situation, and express your expectations.
6. Closing: The letter should end with a polite closing, such as "Sincerely," followed by your name. If you prefer, you can sign your name in cursive just above your printed name.
Overall, your letter is well-organized and follows the standard format for a complaint letter.
