Example Complaint Letter

NOTE: Do NOT cut/paste this letter. Please use your own words. Government officials discount letters that are clearly copies of a letter template.

My name is <name>, and I live in <city>,<state>. I am writing to you because I would like to have the SmartMeter removed from my home immediately <or refuse to have a SmartMeter installed on my home>.

I was not asked permission prior to the SmartMeter device being installed on my home. My family was never consulted about the program, or even notified in advance of installation. I hereby demand that <no SmartMeter device be installed /the SmartMeter device be removed from the premises>.

Since the installation, I have had <list symptoms>. I now understand that there are health concerns related to the wireless network that the SmartMeters use, and I do not want this device on my home or in my neighborhood. My old analog meter worked just fine, and I do not want to risk the health of my family with this SmartMeter.

I have called my utility company, <utility company name>, multiple times about getting the SmartMeter removed, and they have told me they will not remove it. They told me there would be an opt out option in the future, but it could take many months or a year to finalize the opt out program. I do not feel it is fair that I am required to wait up to a year to have my SmartMeter removed when I did not want the SmartMeter on my home in the first place. I am also concerned that the SmartMeter may be causing sleep problems and other health issues for myself and my family. I do not want to wait months to remove this SmartMeter. I would like it removed now!

Can somebody please help me? It is very frustrating that nobody seems to be able to help.
