SEMI-FORMAL LETTER – COLLEAGUE

You are having some trouble with a work colleague. Write to your employer.

In your letter

  • Explain what the problem is
  • Describe how it is affecting you
  • Make a suggestion about what could be done

Dear [Employer’s Name],

I am writing to bring to your attention a situation I am facing with a colleague at work which has been causing me considerable distress.

The problem revolves around communication issues with my coworker, Mr. Smith. Despite my repeated attempts to collaborate effectively on projects, he has been unresponsive and uncooperative. This lack of communication has led to misunderstandings, delays in completing tasks, and a decrease in productivity for both of us.

This ongoing situation is affecting me personally as it has caused me additional stress and has made me apprehensive about approaching Mr. Smith for work-related matters. As a result, my work performance has been impacted, and I feel demotivated in such a challenging environment.

I would like to suggest that a mediation session or conflict resolution meeting be arranged between Mr. Smith and me, supervised by a manager or HR representative. This could provide us with a neutral platform to address our concerns, improve communication, and establish a more positive working relationship moving forward.

I hope that this matter can be addressed promptly to restore a harmonious working environment for all parties involved. Your support and intervention in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Yours sincerely,

[Your Name]
