“Dear Sir, You are a mountebank and an idiot.”

If you have to write a letter of complaint, make this your model. You’d never have a problem getting good service if you concluded your letter like this:

What truly appalls me is not the contempt you have for me, which is palpable enough, but the contempt you show for your own work. Have you no honor? No shame? No basic sense of propriety? You sir, are a villain.

Do not imagine this is the end of this matter. You have not tasted the fullness of my wrath. Indeed, but have not even sampled a tithe of it. Pray you do not encounter me in the flesh, for as surely as I have spent the last three hours spinning in place and staring at the ceiling in your video entertainment product, I will teach you to fear justice the way the wicked things beneath the earth fear the sun itself.

You’ll likely be amused at what elicited the complaint.
