# RACIAL DISCRIMINATION CLAIM LETTER

Date: 28 May 2037

Parties: Amira Hassan and Broadwell Manufacturing Ltd

## 1. Purpose and parties

I complain about treatment at Broadwell Manufacturing Ltd connected with my Egyptian nationality and ethnicity. On 7 April 2037 my supervisor repeatedly referred to me as the team's foreign representative and told colleagues that customers wanted a British face, despite my performance rating and experience.

## 2. Facts, scope and terms

On 21 April the same supervisor excluded me from a client meeting and used a slur in a group chat. I reported this to HR on 22 April, but no interim protection or investigation outcome has been provided. I say the conduct may amount to direct race discrimination and racial harassment under the Equality Act 2010.

## 3. Process and responsibilities

Please preserve the chat, meeting invitations, performance records and HR complaint, appoint an impartial investigator and prevent retaliation. I seek an apology, appropriate corrective action and compensation assessed on evidence. I reserve Acas Early Conciliation and tribunal rights, subject to time limits.

## 4. Evidence, records and safeguards

The parties should retain the relevant contract, notice, invoices, records and correspondence, and restrict access to personal or confidential information to those who need it. The stated amounts and dates are fictional worked-example facts and require checking against source records.

## 5. Review, escalation and outcome

If the issue is not resolved, the parties should identify the appropriate next step, which may include an internal process, mediation, court or regulator. Silence or part performance is not treated as acceptance or waiver.

## 6. Reservations and practical protections

This document is a general fictional example, not individual legal advice and not a guarantee of eligibility, liability or outcome. Where necessary, an independent professional should check the facts and current law.

## 7. England and Wales law and completion

This completed fictional sample is made on the date above under the law of England and Wales and subject to mandatory protections. It does not exclude any right, liability or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded.
