Dear Sir/ Madam, I am writing to put forward my concern regarding the missed
flight
. I had a

 from Vancouver to India yesterday through Flair Airlines. But unfortunately,
due to
 some technical difficulties, we were prohibited from boarding.

 be moved. It was so disheartening experience because everything happened in a fraction of a second. I was visiting India my hometown after 7 years to attend my sister's marriage. I broke into tears. I am the elder daughter in the family and responsible for all the preparations.
Furthermore
, when I informed my parents about it, they were shattered and asked me to book another
flight
. But
due to
 my financial crisis
that is
 not possible either. I want the airline to come forward and apologize to all the passengers to let them down. On top of that, no other
flight
 arrangements were made by the airline which shows complete laxity on their part. I would like the airline to book another
flight
 for commuters.
Along with
 that, everybody should be compensated fairly by giving some vouchers
due to
 the caused trouble. Hope to hear back from the authorities soon. Yours sincerely, Gur

Structure your letter

A letter needs to be written using a proper format, including the following:

  • A greeting (Dear sir/madam, Dear John, Dear Mr. Smith)
  • The main body (consisting of paragraphs for each part of the letter)
  • A closing (Yours sincerely, Yours faithfully, Best wishes, Kind regards, Love)

When writing a letter as part of the IELTS General Training Writing Task 1, it is important to include the bullet points presented to you in the question.

All three bullet points need to be presented. And remember that some bullet points contain more than one element. So, make sure to watch for ‘and’ and plurals.
