Cultural Tip

In Italian business communication it is customary to start with a greeting (e.g., 'Buongiorno') and, if you are speaking to a representative you do not know, to use the formal 'Lei' form. The word 'reclamo' can refer both to a consumer complaint and to a legal claim, so make sure the context is clear. Adding a brief apology for any inconvenience ('Mi scuso per il disturbo') can make the request sound more courteous.
