Example Letter
Dear Mr. Johnson,
I am writing to apologize for the unacceptable conduct of a member of our staff toward you on Saturday, April 23rd. I understand how upsetting this must have been, and I hope we can resolve the matter to your satisfaction.
Due to my absence at the time, I was unable to apologize to you in person. However, I take such incidents extremely seriously, and following your letter of complaint, the staff member in question has been severely reprimanded. You can rest assured that they will treat our customers with the utmost respect moving forward.
I hope this incident will not deter you from using our store in the future. As a gesture of goodwill and to make up for the inconvenience caused, we are sending you a complimentary gift.
Yours sincerely,
Peter Brown
Manager
