Dear [Recipients Name],
Although I am very excited about the upcoming convention, I, unfortunately, will not be able to attend due to circumstances beyond my control. For this, I would like to request a refund of the registration fee that I paid. I understand that according to the terms and conditions, only 75% will be returned to me as the deadline for any changes has already passed. I have attached the invoice I received upon registration.
Please send the check for the refund to my company's office address at 3391 Cazador St, Los Angeles CA 90065. Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
[Senders Name]

Further things to consider when writing request letters to event organizers
Request Letters
Request letters are letters written to ask formally or politely for something. Any matter that requires a humble and polite appeal can be put forward using a request letter. It could be a job interview, a promotion, or a favor; a request letter will get the job done. A request letter can be formal or informal depending on the recipient. If you are requesting a friend to do a task for you, for instance, you can choose to go informal. But if you are requesting your manager for a promotion, the letter has to be formal. Either way, a request letter must be sent early enough to give the recipient ample time to process and respond to the request.
When writing request letters, you need to be brief and direct, avoiding any auxiliary information that might weaken the message you are conveying. State exactly and clearly what you are requesting for giving reasons for it. If you are requesting for a raise, for example, explain in details why you think you deserve one. Maintain a polite tone throughout the letter. Close the letter by thanking the recipient in advance and expressing your anticipation for his/her consideration.
Letters to Event Organizers
Letters to event organizers are letters sent to people who arrange and prepare for events. These could be inquiry letters to inquire after event organizing services or thank-you letters to thank event organizers for amazing events. The letters could also be application letters from candidates applying for event organizing positions. Letters to event organizers, especially those thanking them for their services, can make the recipients feel valued and appreciated in a big way. Remember these are people who work long and spend sleepless nights planning and executing every detail related to an event to make it a success. Therefore, just a simple message to say thank you after an excellent event would mean the world to them.
Letters to event organizers could be formal or informal depending on the purpose. If you are writing to request information or to apply for a job position with the event organizing company, then the letter must be formal. However, if you are writing to say thank you for an excellent event, you can be less formal. Regardless, all letters must be professional and must carry only the intended message. Be clear and concise and maintain a polite tone. End positively.
