Sir,
I am quite surprised to receive such a heavy electricity bill. Needless to say there has been some anomaly or breach of duty. Either the meter readings have not been taken properly or our new meter is faulty.
I am quite disturbed how such an exaggerated amount in bill could have been reached. So I request you to have my meter checked and also get the meter readings confirmed. I shall be obliged to pay the bill till this dispute is settled if I am assured that the excess amount paid would be adjusted in my future bills.
I would be highly obliged if you could settle this matter in accordance with the provisions to the satisfaction of your customer.
Thanking you,

Sub: Complaint about Heavy Electricity Bill Problem
Concerned authority,
I am writing a complaint in regards to the rising electricity bill. The electricity bill has been extremely high lately. I am a single mother/bachelor (your current status) with a few children and I cannot handle such high prices. (Show your actual problem and situation).
I would specifically like to know if there is any kind of issue with my electricity meter, as I have been using the same amount of electricity as other months, and yet my bill is extremely higher.
I know that I have not been using more electricity than before and I have not been using any power-consuming large electrical appliances. Therefore, I believe there is a problem with my electricity meter.
I ask that you send someone from (Electricity Company name) to come and inspect it as soon as possible so that I will not be overcharged again.
Regards,
