Dear John Doe:
My name is Sean Coyle and I am a loyal customer. Normally, I am satisfied with your service but when I attended your luncheonette on the 20th of October I was never more appalled by the monstrosity you call a restaurant.

When I arrived at your restaurant that fateful Wednesday I was bombarded with illegal fireworks thrown by miscreants on the roof. I ducked inside your eatery in order to escape the barrage. As I entered I decided that since I was already here I would notify the hostess about the attack on your prospective patrons and request a table to wait at until they were dealt with.  

I then made my way to the waiting room in which I found that all the seating was inhabited by your slumbering employees, who refuse to be disturbed. After standing in the waiting room for nearly an hour I went to talk to the hostess again who said to me “Oh your still here I forgot you wanted a table”. At that point I exited the restaurant to resume the bottle rocket onslaught. As I left that nightmare behind I was presented with new dread as I saw my car had been mortally maimed.

I demand that you pay for the damages to my car, the physical affliction I suffered as I was assaulted as well as the mental anguish that was caused. The total costs and compensation for my strife comes out $300,000.00. I also highly suggest that you talk with your staff.

Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. I look forward to hearing from you very soon. Please contact me at (480) 555-1666.

Sincerely,
Sean Coyle
Perpetual victim
