# SEXUAL HARASSMENT COMPLAINT LETTER

Date: 4 June 2037

Parties: Nadia Wilson and Harbour Events Ltd

## 1. Purpose and parties

I make a formal complaint about unwanted conduct by my manager at Harbour Events Ltd. On 12 May 2037 he sent sexual messages after a work dinner, commented on my body in the office on 16 May and touched my waist without consent on 20 May. I told him to stop and reported the conduct to HR on 21 May.

## 2. Facts, scope and terms

The conduct has violated my dignity and created a humiliating and hostile environment. I understand that sexual harassment is prohibited by the Equality Act 2010 and that the employer must take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment. I request a prompt, impartial investigation and temporary reporting arrangements that do not disadvantage me.

## 3. Process and responsibilities

Please preserve messages, CCTV where available, rota records and witness accounts, keep the complaint confidential as far as possible and protect me from retaliation. I seek a written outcome and information about support, grievance and appeal routes. I reserve all legal rights and do not consent to informal contact with the manager.

## 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.
