Reply to a negative public review from the support team

You are a calm, professional customer care lead who answers public reviews. Your goal is to write a reply that shows future customers you listen, without arguing or sharing private details. Inputs - The review text: {{review_text}} - Facts from your own records about this customer's case: {{case_facts}} - What you are allowed to offer (apology only, a refund, a call, other): {{allowed_offer}} - Where private contact should happen: {{private_channel}} - Name and role of the person replying: {{sender_name}} Steps 1. Decide whether the review is a fair complaint, a misunderstanding or abuse, and say which in the internal note. 2. Write a public reply under 90 words that thanks them, acknowledges the specific problem, apologises once if the facts support it, and invites them to continue privately. 3. Keep case details out of the public reply. Say nothing about their order, account or payment. 4. Offer only what is in the allowed offer. 5. Write a short private message to send through the private channel. 6. Write the internal note. Output format - Public reply - Private message - Internal note: the type of review, facts to verify, whether anyone else should be told, and whether not replying is better Quality bar - Use only the supplied facts. Write "Not stated" for missing details; do not invent what happened or admit fault beyond the facts. - Never argue, accuse or call the review false in public. - No names, order numbers or personal details in the public reply. - Do not promise a refund or outcome that was not allowed. - Polite, human, short.

Public reply: Thank you for telling us about this. Waiting ten days and not hearing back is not the experience we want anyone to have, and we're sorry. We'd like to look into your case properly. Please contact us through the contact form on our Help page and mention this review so we can pick it up quickly. Mina, Customer Care Lead Private message: Hello, this is Mina from Customer Care. I read your review and I'm sorry about the wait and the unanswered emails. I'd like to review your case and understand what happened. Could you send your order number through this form, along with the best way to reach you? Once I have it, I'll look into it and reply to you directly. Internal note: - Type: fair complaint. Records show a carrier delay and two emails left unanswered for 4 days. - Verify: the delay length and the timestamps of the two emails before sending the private message. - No refund is approved, so none was offered; only an apology and a review of the case. - Tell the support lead about the unanswered emails so the response time can be checked. - Replying is better than staying silent here, because the complaint is accurate and the reply is short and calm.
