Quick Template (Short)

Hi [[NAME]],

I’m writing to request a full refund for my subscription, reference [[REFERENCE]]. I cancelled before the next billing cycle but was still charged. Please process this refund promptly.

Thanks,
[[YOUR_NAME]]

Formal Version

Dear [[NAME]],

I am formally requesting a refund for the recent charge to my account, reference number [[REFERENCE]]. Upon reviewing my subscription terms, I believe this charge is erroneous as I cancelled my service prior to the renewal date. Kindly process a full refund and confirm the cancellation of all future billing.

Sincerely,
[[YOUR_NAME]]

Friendly Version

Hey [[NAME]],

Hope you’re well. I noticed a charge for my old subscription (ref: [[REFERENCE]]) after I thought I’d cancelled. Could you please look into this and issue a refund? I’d hate for this to keep coming out!

Best,
[[YOUR_NAME]]

Firm Version

To [[NAME]],

This is a follow-up regarding my refund request for charge [[REFERENCE]]. My cancellation was effective prior to the renewal date, making this charge invalid. I expect a full refund within 5 business days. If this is not resolved, I will escalate to my card issuer and relevant consumer protection agencies.
