Quick Template (Short)

Hi [[NAME]], I am writing to request a refund for my appointment on [[DATE]] (Ref: [[REFERENCE]]). The service was not rendered as agreed. Please process this refund to my original payment method. Thank you, [[YOUR_NAME]].

Formal Version

Dear [[NAME]], I am formally requesting a refund for the appointment scheduled on [[DATE]], reference number [[REFERENCE]]. As the service was not provided, I expect a full reimbursement to the original payment method within 7-10 business days. Please confirm receipt and processing timeline. Sincerely, [[YOUR_NAME]].

Friendly Version

Hey [[NAME]], hope you're well! I'd like to follow up on my appointment from [[DATE]] (ref: [[REFERENCE]]). Since we weren't able to proceed, could you please arrange a refund? Let me know if you need anything from my end. Best, [[YOUR_NAME]].

Firm Version

[[NAME]], this is a second request for a refund for appointment [[REFERENCE]] on [[DATE]]. Your terms state refunds are due for canceled appointments, yet no action has been taken. Process this refund by [[DATE]] or I will escalate this to my card issuer and relevant consumer affairs body. [[YOUR_NAME]].
