A letter of protest is a diplomatic document presented by one state's foreign ministry against another state.

A letter of protest is written in a highly formal manner, intended to be both courteous and critical at the same time. For example, in order to express an exceptionally strong anger towards a foreign government's policy, a letter of protest would say "We condemn this action in the strongest possible terms."
