Dear Sir or Madam,
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to inform you that I missed my flight from Amsterdam to Bangkok this morning due to street blockages outside the airport.
I had booked an economy class ticket on the flight that was supposed to depart at 10 am and I was supposed to reach the airport at 8 am. However, on my way to the airport I saw that the street outside the airport was cordoned off for security reasons to allow governmental convoys to pass to attend an international convention being held in the city.
As a result of this unexpected disruption, I was unable to reach the airport on time and missed my flight. Because of this, I missed an important business meeting that I was supposed to attend in Bangkok and my clients have had to extend their trip in order to meet me. This has caused a lot of inconvenience to everyone and financial loss to me.
Therefore, I request you to book a ticket for me on the next flight from Amsterdam to Bangkok at no extra cost as the reason for delay was beyond my control.
I look forward to your immediate assistance in this regard.
Yours faithfully,
Vibhu Anurag
