投诉信(letters of complaint)通常是写给厂家、商店、消费者协会、报界或厂家、商店的上级主管部门，揭发产品质量的低劣、服务态度的糟糕，抱怨不应出现的情况或问题等，以求得解决的信件。写投诉信要实事求是地把问题讲清楚，态度要冷静，做到有礼貌，不能恶言伤人。

当发生事故的时候，如果只是一些很快就能得到解决的小问题(比如保险、保证或是其他合同条款)，一封日常投诉信就完全可以了。由于这些小问题一般不会遭到对方的反对，日常投诉信只要清楚、明了、简要就行。下面是写日常投诉信所遵循的法则：

1. 开头就提出要求。

2. 详细解释此要求的原因。

3. 结尾要表示感谢对方的合作。

学校受污染

【内容提示】

假如你是市一中的学生，名叫王红。你要向本市一家报刊编辑(editor)写封信，反映你校受污染的问题，呼吁有关部门采取措施，保护环境，防止污染。请你用下面的素材写100词左右的一封信。

你校位于山脚下，一条小河从旁边流过，院内树木四季常青，鲜花争艳，景色美似花园。但两年前，附近建起一家化工厂，排出大量污水、废气，造成校园污染，严重影响了师生健康。请有关部门出面解决这一问题。

Dear Sir/Madam,

Please send us a correction on part of our order WP-11.

All the items we ordered arrived in excellent condition except for one model. It you refer to our original order (see the copy attached), you will note that we requested your fluorescent desk-lamps, Model 606. However, Model 608 reached us instead. For details, please see the inspection certificate issued by the Tianjin Commodity Inspection Bureau.

Will you kindly take back those you sent out and substitute them with an equal quantity (120 items) of Model 606? We would appreciate your attention to this matter promptly.

Yours faithfully

School Polluted

No. 1 Middle School

March 5, 1997

Dear Editor,

Our school lies at the foot of a mountain with a small river passing by. It used to look like a beautiful garden. There used to be green trees and all kinds of flowers in our school yard all year round.

But great changes have taken place since a chemical works was built near our school two years ago. It produces poisonous gases and pours a large amount of waste water into the river. The terrible pollution has done great harm to us students and teachers as well as to the surroundings.

It's time for us to take steps to protect our surroundings and prevent them from being polluted.

Yours ever,

Wang Hong

【写法指要】

这封信的作者用的是对比法，先写学校的地理位置和原先学校的优美环境，后写化工厂建起后对学校造成的污染，最后提请报界呼吁保护环境的问题。写得有理有据，令人信服。
