This prompt will have the GPT model you use write a formal business complaint to the manager of a company. If using an assessment platform like EXAMIND, students will then be instructed to write a response using the tactics you’ve taught in your class.

Prompt

Write a formal complaint letter from a customer to a manager. The complaint should address two randomly selected issues from the following list: product defect, poor service, delayed delivery, technical issue with order, or unresponsive customer service. The tone of the letter should be randomly selected from the following options: firm, angry, disappointed, or irate.

The letter must include:

  • A specific date when the problem occurred
  • The name of the product
  • The company name
  • Mention of previous attempts to resolve the issue
  • Realistic names for the customer (e.g., Jon Hansen) and any employees involved, as needed to complete the story

Additionally, the letter should include one randomly chosen expectation from the manager, such as a refund, replacement, or apology. Ensure the tone matches the randomly selected emotion, and the structure is formal.

At the end of the letter, request a follow-up response from the manager, using realistic details throughout.
