Airline Vouchers

4/3/90
Eastern Airlines Inc.
Miami, FL 33148

To Whom It May Concern,

According to the pilot, transportation home was to be paid by Eastern. The voucher-less woman in charge of distributing transportation vouchers instructed me to pay the driver with my own money, then send the receipt to you guys for reimbursement. I paid the cab with real money and expected to be reimbursed with the same, not “Eastern travel credit.” Unfortunately I travel too rarely for the coupon to be of any real value to me.

I was surprised and disappointed to receive the coupon indicating your attempt to renege on the promises made by our pilot and the empty-handed voucher-mistress. To my further chagrin, the coupon arrived looking as if it had been gnawed by rodents. Would that I were as adaptive as a rat, I could at least enjoy making a meal of the otherwise worthless paper. Most of the coupon remained, however, which leads me to conclude that even the least charismatic of the lower mammals are ultimately discriminating and know a bad deal when they taste one.

I've enclosed the non-eaten portion of the voucher along with another copy of my original letter of explanation in the hopes that you might, at long last, decide to honor the promises made by two of your colleagues and grant me the refund in spendable U.S. currency. Thank you for your attention.

Sincerely,
