Guide

The transaction details

Include the business name, order or booking reference, purchase date, amount paid and item or service name. This makes the request easier to trace.

Guide

The refund reason

Say whether the problem is a faulty item, damaged delivery, service not provided, duplicate charge, cancelled order or poor service. One clear reason is stronger than a vague complaint.

Guide

The evidence position

Mention receipts, photos, tracking records, screenshots or earlier support messages. If evidence is limited, keep the explanation factual and avoid overclaiming.

Guide

The outcome and deadline

Ask clearly for a refund, partial refund, replacement or written response. A refund request is weaker when it never says exactly what the business should do next.

No. A short structured letter with the right reference details is usually stronger than a long emotional message.
