Write a message to a hotel and a booking site about a resort fee that was added after I booked through the site. What I will tell you: hotel [HOTEL_NAME], booking site and reference [BOOKING_SITE_AND_REFERENCE], stay dates [STAY_DATES], total shown when I booked [TOTAL_AT_BOOKING], resort fee charged at the hotel [RESORT_FEE], what the booking page said about fees [PAGE_WORDING], what I want [DESIRED_REMEDY]. The letter needs to set the booking total beside the final bill, quote what the page said, ask the hotel to remove or reduce the fee and ask the site to explain where the fee was shown, and ask for a reply by a date. Documents that usually matter: Screenshots of the booking page and total, the confirmation email, the final bill, and photos of closed facilities if the fee was for amenities. Remedies that are usually on the table: Removal or refund of the fee, a partial refund, a credit or a clear statement of where the fee was disclosed. A typical reply: The hotel may say the booking site owns the issue and the site may say the hotel does; reply by asking each for the person who can decide and for the fee wording at the time of booking. Draft the first letter for the hotel resort fee refund after booking through a third party and two follow-ups: a no-reply follow-up, and one for a partial or unsatisfactory reply, each shorter than the one before. Deliver the finished letter together with a 50-word cover note, followed by an escalation ladder if I am ignored (ask the hotel manager, then the booking site, then the card issuer, then a consumer agency), plus an evidence checklist (booking page capture, confirmation, final bill, photos, messages). Send it as a PDF and paste the text into the message, then keep the thread and any automatic reply and follow up if no confirmation arrives. Keep it firm, factual and polite, threatening nothing beyond lawful steps, use only the date in [DEADLINE], and be honest about limits. Let the wording be mine, plain and personal, and keep it free of legal jargon. Quote no statute or time limit from memory; use [JURISDICTION] and [RELEVANT_LAW_OR_POLICY_IF_KNOWN] as given, and tell me to verify the exact law with a professional. This is drafting help, not legal advice.
