I booked tickets for my boss and three of his VIP clients to see the production of the women in Pinkon Thursday 15th December. The main reason we chose this production was because of the excellent reviews that it had received in the Production Weekly magazine. However, unfortunately, my boss´s VIP clients were unable to make it to London on the 26th December due to the closure of Heathrow airport. As a result, my boss's VIP clients did not get to see the performance that they had thoroughly been looking forward to seeing. When I went to the theatre on the day of the performance, I explained the unfortunate situation to the Box Offce, and they said were unable to do anything with the tickets. For this reason I am writing to you. I enclose the tickets which they were unable to use, with the hope that we can exchange them for tickets to view the production on another date. My boss's VIP clients are hoping: to return on Wednesday 4th February and we would love for them to have the opportunity to see the fantastic production.
