COMPLAINT
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to complain about the service in your office.
From three months I am waiting for my tax back because someone made an mistake In my sort code.I called to your office in Cardiff and they told me that I have to sent formal letter to inform about that so I did that three weeks ago I also send fax.
I still did not receive any reply even so I gave you all my details e-mail,mobile number etc.
I hope you will solve this problem or I will have to contact with The Adjudicator's Office.
I also want to claim back reasonable costs that I have spend as a direct result of your mistakes or delay such as: postage,phone calls,fax.
Please confirm by email that you received this letter.
Yours faithfully,
xxxx
thank you very much :*

Fax? Nobody sends faxs any more. You can send by e-mail, or by post. If you are paranoid, you can send a registered letter so they cannot deny they received it. I would send a regular written letter, there is a tendency to deny having ever received the e-mail.
Only if you can have guaranteed notification that the fax was received and read. As Thod say, far better to send it by post, if possible in such a way that it must be signed for in Cardiff. You could fax and also send a letter, stating in the fax that you have done this and when the letter was posted.
The problem with dealing with large government agencies is that they are very liable to deny receipt of faxes or e-mails. Of course, on e-mail it is possible to have a "read" notification.
Unfortunately this is a very bad time of year to be chasing this department as they are dealing with so many claims.
From three months.... is wrong grammatically, it should be For three months...., you can't say 'from' with 'have been', have/has been comes only with since or for. Thanks.
