Why is this a Band 9 letter?
Recipient
This formal letter has a suitable greeting and ending, with a
clear, strong ‘call to action’
sentence.
Style
The candidate has used a strong, formal style which reflects the fact that she has a complaint to
make.
She uses some classic ‘complaining’ and other formal phrases, such as:
‘I am writing regarding’
‘On arrival at’
‘substantial inconvenience’
‘I am requesting, therefore, that you kindly reimburse me’
‘As you see’ (= I have demonstrated that this is true.)

All of these phrases will impress the IELTS examiner in a formal complaint letter.
