You do NOT need to write any addresses. Begin your letter as follows: Dear Sir or Madam,

Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to express my concerns in regard to the Qantas
flight
that took off at 6am
this
morning towards Buenos Aires, Argentina. My name is Laura Espeso and my reference number is AHU158989. Apparently, the company had overbooked
this
international
flight
and
thus
I could not go on board the plane at the indicated time. I spoke to the front desk official and explained my situation,
however
, she made it very clear that no one else would be admitted into the transport. Missing the
flight
will bring about some extremely negative consequences to my professional career unless I can get a new ticket as soon as possible. As it was not a pleasure trip but a business trip, if I do not arrive in Buenos Aires before midday tomorrow I am afraid I might lose my job. I am supposed to be meeting a new client in Buenos Aires at 1:30 pm tomorrow and, even though it is a neighbour country, there is no other way to arrive there at the right time but via aeroplane. As far as I remember my reservation included a safety guarantee that would secure a new booking in case of missing the
flight
. I kindly ask you to review the reference number presented above as I am most urged to get onto the
next
flight
available. Please let me know if there is any
further
information that may be required, Yours sincerely, Laura Espeso
