You recently missed a flight. You think this was the fault of the airlines. Write a letter to the airline. In your letter - explain why you believe the airline was at fault - describe the impact this had on your journey - say what you want the airline to do. Write at least 150 words. You do NOT need to write any addresses. Begin you letter as follows: Dear Sir or Madam,

Dear Sir or Madam, I regret to inform you that I missed a
flight
scheduled for 5th March 2023 at 5 pm, from London to Sydney. I firmly believe
this
is
due to
the misinformation conveyed by your staff. Let me explain my situation. On a
flight
day, I arrived at the airport two hours before the scheduled
flight
. Just before an hour of a
flight
, your staff announced that a
flight
has been delayed by 3 hours
due to
technical issues. Since I had few things to shop for, I used that time to go to the nearby market and returned one and a half hours before the rescheduled time.
However
, to my surprise, I have been told that the plane took off at its regular time since the issue was fixed much earlier than expected. Since I missed my
flight
, I have been running behind my schedule. I had an interview scheduled for the day after that
flight
day. It could have led to the opportunity to work on my dream job. The interview cannot be rescheduled, as I have been informed. I would like to request you a full refund of my ticket price. I will not expect any deduction on the refund since it is clearly the fault of your staff. Since
this
is an urgent matter, I urge you to look into
this
matter immediately. Yours Faithfully, John Doe
