This situation has caused me {{describe the impact this issue has had on you, your family or others who have been affected by the problem}}…
In my view, you should …. {{describe what you think the lawyer should do to put things right.

In the meantime, if you need any further information from me, please {{telephone me on the above number/ write to me at the address shown}}.
I have been trying to catch up with you, chasing you around. But I didn’t get the opportunity to speak to you. I find myself a very hard-working person.
Not just my own work, I have always tried to be very supportive of my colleagues as well. I am the one who always volunteers to cover for people absent from work.
As you know, {{Name of the employee}} has left and we did not find a suitable replacement for him yet. This has left me with a lot of work. Even though I have been so helpful towards people, no one has vouched to help me. This overwork is making us work overtime even on weekends as well.
This does not mean that I am running away from work.
But a little help would be great now. With thanks,
I look forward to hearing from you in the very near future.
Yours sincerely,
