Request Letter for Flight Delay Compensation

Sir, with due respect I have to state that I was on your flight (Name and Number) to (City and Country bane). I had a very important business meeting in (City Name) but the flight got delayed due to technical faults. (Describe in your own words). I was on pins and needles to hear the news that we could fly again but your stewards did not update me with the situation because of which I had to wait for 10-15 hours (more/less). (Explain the actual problem and situation). Eventually, I lost a huge client. I am a very frequent user of your airline and I am very disappointed with the way your staff reacted.

Therefore, I ask you to compensate me with a specific but equivalent amount of money for the valuable time that was wasted. (Cordially describe your requirements). I hope to hear from you soon.
