To Whom It May Concern:
On December 14th I booked a return flight from Montreal to Vancouver on the airline Joust Air. At the last minute however, a family emergency came up and I was forced to make a trip to Toronto. I decided then to simply buy another ticket to Vancouver and use the return portion of my original ticket to fly back to Montreal. Upon arriving at the airport for the return flight, I was told by Joust Air that my return ticket had been cancelled. I was told by a Joust service representative that because I had not boarded the plane in Montreal, the entire ticket was made void.
I would like to make a formal complaint against this policy. I was not told of this before buying my ticket and no other airlines I have contacted have similar policies. I have attached a photocopy of my original ticket to this letter as well as a receipt of the ticket I purchased to return to Montreal. I am hoping you can assist me in getting a refund for this ticket. As well, I hope there may be something to prevent this from occurring again in the future.
Thank you,
Wanda Breen
163. What is the purpose of the letter above?
(a) To dispute a policy

What: Aces High Theme Park
Where: Bellings, Montana
When: Since 1987
“Aces High was worth the trip. The rides and roller-coasters were fast and had plenty of thrills, and the most surprising thing was the size. It took us two full days to see everything. Bring extra clothes. You'll get wet on the water rides. Incredible fun!”
- Barbara Fleet, Colorado Springs –
“If you're planning on spending a lot of time in the theme park, I recommend staying at The Royal Flush. This is the resort hotel located next to Aces High. Just show your room card at the rides and you'll be taken to the shorter Gold Members line. You'll save hours of time!”
- Dave Goldblum, Bangor –
“As usual, this theme park contains long lines and grumpy kids. Be prepared. Before you arrive, try to visit the website online and check the roller-coaster height minimums for children. That way you can explain to your children which rides they can and can't go on. Children under 10 pay half price.”

Subject: Overstock
Date: June 24, 8:42 p.m.
------------------------------------------------Amanda,I just finished stocking the order, and it looks as if we have a small problem. Whoever ordered must have punched in the wrong amount, because we have too many of the Pretty Baby Sun Lotion. I asked Linda about it, and she didn't know anything.
There are 10 cases of this product, so someone must have ordered 200 instead of 20. I checked the invoice, and we were billed correctly. I even called the warehouse to make sure they didn't make the mistake, and the order was for 200.
I wasn't sure what to do, so I just stocked the shelves and put the rest in our back stock. I was thinking we could make some sort of promotion for sun lotion since summer just started.
If you want, I can make a display tomorrow morning.

Subject: Meeting
Date: January 18, 7:49 a.m.
-----------------------------------------------Dear Mr. Foster,
I regret that I was unable to meet with you last week. As you may have heard, my flight was cancelled due to heavy snow, and I wasn't able to leave Boston until the day of the meeting.
I was delighted to hear from Jerome that the meeting went well, and we are getting closer to an agreement.
Since we seem most comfortable discussing these matters in person, I'd like to hear your thoughts. I've looked over the minutes and have read the reports, but I would still like to speak with you personally. How about meeting for lunch this Wednesday? My schedule is open at any time.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours truly,
Helen

Subject: 2-Day Workshop
Date: August 30
----------------------------------------------Good day Mr. Tynes,
To quickly reintroduce myself, my name is Angie McInnes, head of Special Programming at Dunbar College here in Clare County. We met briefly several months ago at the European Teachers Expo in Dublin. In two weeks, this year's Professional Development Series will be beginning. As always, 10 different colleges across the country are chosen to offer the 2-day course. This year, Elizabeth Rankin has agreed to teach the course on the topic of project management. There seems to be a problem however in regards to her availability. Due to a personal commitment, Ms. Rankin will not be available for two of the dates in mid-October, the 13th and the 16th.
I realize this may be short notice, but I am wondering if you would be interested in taking her place for these dates. Given your extensive experience at Lloyd, Bremer & Western in addition to your teaching experience at Dublin College, I think you would be perfect for the job. Of course, all the materials will be provided, though I encourage you to bring your own stories and ideas to the course. I'm sure the students would be fascinated to see how projects operate in the world of architecture.
I've attached a brief outline of the course, the dates, and exact locations as well. If you think you may be interested in this project, please contact me as soon as you can, as these dates need to be filled. At that time we can meet and discuss any questions you may have.
