Sheesh. Can't believe the OP has been so 'got at' in this case.

I would be absolutely fuming. Ultimately, OP would probably have a case for defamation of character. If neighbours see the Old Bill turn up outside, their view will be no smoke without a fire. What odd neighbours they must be.

Morrisons have NOT done the right thing here at all and have made a bad situation about 100 times worse.

I wonder why the OP threatened to "take it further" if Morrisons did not respond within 14 days yet had no intention of doing anything of the sort?

I think I would be really annoyed if I were the OP too, however, I think that the best thing is to just to take a deep breath, step back from the situation, and just let it go. There's no point in getting het-up about the store manager at some petrol station not doing their job properly. There are much more important things to spend your energy on, and getting really wound up about it isn't really going to resolve the situation.

Vote with your feet, and don't go back.

Now that is being daft peach, I have no doubt the letter has NOTHING to do with the neighbours, its for her own peace of mind.

Sorry but that post is pretty desperate. Why you feel the need to pluck at straws over it is beyond me.

It was the OP who mentioned the "embarrassment" of being contacted to by the police, so perhaps a letter of apology to the OP from Morrisons could then be photo-copied and handed round the curtain twitching neighbours?

I cannot believe that I have wasted 15 minutes of my life reading this.........I want those 15 minutes back........or a letter of apology from the OP for writing such drivel.

OP. Life's too short to be worrying about such trivial matters!

write and ask them to instigate their internal complaints procedure - every company should have one. Ask for a copy of their when you write

I think this is a great idea Equaliser. Op is probably best seeking some legal aid and putting together a high profile case for defamation of charcter. It would be priceless entertainemnt being in the public gallery just to watch the judge urinate all over that case.

Apology letters are a means of making amends for one’s mistakes. It can be a personal letter to a friend or family member, or on behalf of a company due to some error committed by them. Mistakes can be intentional or unintentional, but a good apology letter can do wonders to ease the strain in relationships. In case of public spats, it becomes necessary to issue an apology so that a company may not be sued. But even in personal relationships, apology letters can be written, whereby a person gets a chance to explain himself and also apologize.

Apology letters may be addressed to different people: Friends, family, lover, employee, employer, client, stakeholders, general public etc. A written apology is more effective than a verbal one.

One must make sure of following these rules when writing an apology letter:

• Sincerity is most important in an apology letter. The recipient must read your letter and believe that you actually mean you are sorry and acknowledging your mistake
• You may specifically mention the reason why you are apologizing, which is necessary especially in official apology letters.

• You could also offer some gesture of goodwill along with your apology. This is done mostly in case with business apology letters

• Reassure the reader that the mistake will not happen again, and humbly accept your fault

• In personal apology letters, one may be freer with the language and it has more scope for emotions. You can mention old memories of you and the reader in the letter, and make it more beautiful

Even more daft, I fear those straws your clutching are getting far too short now

Yes I imagine the OP did not appreciate the police knocking on her door, but this has zero to do with the reasons of her wanting a written apology. The OP never once mentioned needing the letter to prove to neighbours of her innocence.

Seriously if your running out of reasonable reasons to your opinion, its probably a good idea to agree to disagree than make yourself look anymore foolish with these sort of posts.

I have no idea why you have posted the above.

Have you emboldened certain bits?

Why?

Is the OP suing Morrisons?

No where does it state that a written apology is in anyway more sincere than a verbal one.
