Dear HR Manager, I am writing to raise a formal grievance concerning unfair treatment in my role as Customer Service Adviser at Example Company Ltd. The issue began around 10 March 2026 and has continued despite being raised informally. I believe the way the matter has been handled has been inconsistent and unfair. I also have email correspondence and meeting notes relevant to this grievance. Please investigate the issue and confirm the next formal steps within 7 working days. Yours sincerely, Jane Smith
