Could you please check my writing? This is an exemplary writing task which is part of a CAE exam.
You recently returned from a holiday abroad. On the flight to your destination, the plane was substantially delayed with no apparent explanation and this resulted in you missing your connecting flight and having to stay a night at the airport waiting for the next connection. Your luggage was lost for almost four days and when it was returned to you, your camera was missing. Write a letter to the airline company describing how you and your holiday were affected, how you feel about the service and asking for compensation.
Write your letter in 220-260 words in an appropriate style.
Dear Verybad Airlines,
I had the doubtful pleasure of being passenger 123 on the flight AB-12 from Notanactualtown to Exemplaryville. I am writing this letter of complaint expecting you to compensate for the inconvenience I experienced due to the poor quality of your service.
First of all, the flight AB-12 was grossly delayed, with no information to be found. Because of that, I wasn't able to switch planes, and I had to spend a night at the airport waiting for the next connection. I arrived to my final destination one day later than planned, and I found out that the hotel canceled my reservation because I had not shown up. I paid upfront for the first night, but could not have stayed.
On top of that, my luggage was lost at the airport. When it finally turned up after four days, it turned out to have been irrepairably damaged. My personal belongings were crushed, including the very bag itself. An expensive camera that was part of my luggage was lost and has not been found yet.
I cannot believe how incredibly insignificant your lack of competence made me feel. You turned my supposed to be vacation into a nightmare because I had to sleep at an airport, find another hotel, and I was worrying about my lost luggage. I demand you to pay for the damaged items (the value of which is 700 Euro, as stated in the Property Damage Report), and I also want you to pay for the night I was unable to stay for.
Sincerely,
G.
