What Is a Customer Response Letter?

A customer response letter is seen as an intermediary tool connecting customers and businesses. Businesses use customer response letters to answer questions and customer feedback about the company, to apologize when there is a problem with their products, or to thank customers for using their products. The content and form of a good response letter help a business satisfy customers' expectations and succeed at customer retention. As a result, business results improve day by day and revenue increases significantly. Below, we introduce the customer response letter templates in English and Vietnamese that many businesses use.

Customer Response Letter Templates in English

In every case — whether responding to complaints or to the satisfaction customers send to the business — you need to follow the process for writing a business English letter to show respect to the customer.

A business English letter consists of the following parts:

The Heading

Like many other letter formats, the heading of a customer response letter must include the full name and address of both sender and recipient, as well as the date the letter was written. For example:

Magenest (Company name)

District X, Y city (Company address)

Tel or Fax 123456789 (phone or fax number)

26th of March, 2021 (Date written)

Alexander K (Customer name)

Teacher (Recipient's occupation, if applicable)

B primary school (Recipient's workplace)

District A, B city (Recipient's address)

Greeting / Salutation

• To show a polite attitude toward the customer, you should use titles such as

Mr, Mrs, Ms…

Structure: Dear + title + surname

Ex: Dear Mrs.Price

• If your relationship with the recipient is more informal, you can simply use their first name in the greeting

Example: Hi Kelly, Dear Kelly…

• If the letter is an introduction or a meeting request and you have no information about the recipient, you can use "To whom it may concern" or "Dear Sir/Madam"

Body and Closing

For thank-you letters

In the main body of a thank-you letter, the business needs to express its gratitude to the customer and the reason for it. For example, the business can thank the customer for making a purchase or for giving feedback on a product or service. In addition, the business should also make promises about future plans or next actions to increase the customer's trust.

Example: Just want to say thank you so much for your purchase. We are very lucky when having a customer like you. Our company always tries our best to enhance the quality of products and hope to see you soon.

(Vietnamese rendering: We just want to say that we thank you very much for choosing the company's products. We are lucky to have a customer like you. Our company will do our utmost to improve product quality and always look forward to your return.)

To close the letter, you can use phrases like "Best Wishes, Regards, Best Regards," to show respect for the customer and your own professionalism.

Response letter to new customers

For complaint letters

For a complaint letter, you need to apologize for the issues the customer raised about the product or service — whether or not the fault was caused by your business. After apologizing, the employee needs to explain why the problem occurred, showing that your business has researched and examined the issue. Then you need to offer the customer a solution to the problem raised, and don't forget to express your wish to continue accompanying the customer in the future. Below is a response letter template for a customer complaint.

Thank you for your letter which alerted us to the problem that you have been having with……..: thank you very much for letting us know about the problem you are facing.

We must apologise for + content of the apology ………: We sincerely apologise for + …….

Please accept our apology for ……….: Please accept our apology for + ………………..

In terms of result of our investigation, we found/ realized that…: after the investigation, we found/realized that…

The error was caused by … / was due to the fact that + content (a clause) ………: the error was caused by…/ was due to the fact that………

The problem was the result of … / resulted from …..: The problem was the result of……./ was caused by………..

The cause of / reason for the mistake was that + content (a clause) …: the cause of the problem was………

As far as the gesture of our regret is concerned, we are prepared to …/ we are willing to … or we would like to ……..: to express our regret, we are ready and prepared to…/ would like to……

At the same time, express the company's wish to continue cooperating with the customer in the future.

We are so excited about receiving your further orders, and make sure that you all products will be filled in the right way.: We very much look forward to your further orders and assure you that all products will be served in the best possible way.

Faithfully yours,

Sincerely yours,

Example:

Thank you for your letter which alerted us to the problem that you have been having with our product. We must apologise for what you faced in the past days. As a result of the investigation, we found some issues in the manufacturing process and we are so sorry about that. As far as the gesture of our regret is concerned, our company wants to give you a new one without a delivery fee. We hope that you will accept this suggestion and continue to support our company.

After the investigation, the company found some issues in the manufacturing process, and we are truly sorry about that. We have a proposal: our company would like to exchange the product for you without charging a delivery fee. We hope you will accept this offer and continue to support our business.)

Customer Response Letter Templates in Vietnamese

Just like the English templates, when writing a customer response letter in Vietnamese you also need to follow the same general structure.

Opening

Date, month, and year the letter was written

Salutation to the letter's recipient (Dear Valued Customers, Dear Esteemed Customers, and so on)

Main Content

Depending on the letter's content, you can choose the wording and writing style to suit it. For example, if the letter is a thank-you note, you should choose words that elevate the customer's value to the business and convey the gratitude you want to send. On the other hand, if the letter responds to a customer's complaint, you should use words expressing regret and apology, or ones persuasive to the customer.

Closing

The closing should be the commitment or promise the business wants to make to the customer. And for a customer response letter in Vietnamese, remember to sign your name.
