The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
Write a request for reimbursement of non-refundable travel costs after my employer cancelled a trip. Details I will supply: employer [EMPLOYER_NAME], trip [TRIP_DETAILS], cancellation date [CANCELLATION_DATE], costs that cannot be refunded [NONREFUNDABLE_COSTS], total [TOTAL_AMOUNT], who authorized the trip [AUTHORIZER]. Please have the letter show that the trip was authorized, that the cancellation was theirs, and list non-recoverable costs with attempts I made to recover them. What to collect first: bookings, cancellation notices, receipts for non-refundable costs, who cancelled the trip and why, and the travel policy. What I can realistically request: reimbursement of costs I could not recover, and a note that I acted as instructed. They will often answer: "Staff should book refundable fares." Answer by pointing to the instruction to book those fares and the date of cancellation. Produce the reimbursement request after a cancelled work trip in three tones (firm, neutral, final notice), each 180 to 280 words with the facts held constant. Give me the letter plus a short cover note, around 60 words, next an if-ignored ladder (finance, then the sponsoring manager, then HR), then an evidence checklist (booking confirmations, cancellation emails, refund attempts, authorization), then one records tip. Send the letter as a PDF attachment, and archive a screenshot of the sent folder showing date and time and ask for a reply confirming receipt. Write the letter as myself, not on anyone else's behalf, without posing as counsel, and skip any letterhead I did not give you. Invent no statute or deadline, and quote none you were not given; stay within [JURISDICTION] and [RELEVANT_LAW_OR_POLICY_IF_KNOWN], and tell me to verify the exact law with a qualified professional or my local consumer agency. Stay calm, plain and courteous, and free of abuse, and set any date from [DEADLINE] and no other. First tell me which details are absent and call out anything I could not show if challenged. The goal is a usable draft, not legal advice, so stay away from telling me what the law requires.

Subject: Non-refundable costs, cancelled Denver trip Dear Finance Team, My manager, Luis Ortega, authorized the Denver trip on 4 May (email attached). It was cancelled by the company on 18 May. I paid 214.00 for a non-refundable hotel night and 96.00 for a change fee that the airline would not waive. I asked both for refunds on 19 May; they declined. Please reimburse 310.00. Receipts, the refusals, and the authorization are attached. Could you let me know the payment date? Thank you. Chen Wu, Sales
