An email you can adapt
The subject “Cancellation request received for [booking]” identifies the request. Replace each bracketed field with a checked detail and remove any sentence that does not describe your situation.
Subject: Cancellation request received for [booking] Hi [name], We received your request to cancel [booking] at [time and time zone]. The request is with [team] for the required checks and has not yet been completed. Please see [current terms reference] for the applicable process. We will confirm the outcome or next step by [date]. If the appointment is imminent, use [approved urgent route] as well so the scheduling team can review it promptly. Best, [sender]
Check the boundary
Acknowledging a cancellation request must not imply that charges, obligations or the appointment itself have already changed.
What a useful reply should settle
The customer should know the request’s actual status and how an urgent timing issue is handled.
Send an explicit outcome when the authorized owner completes the review rather than closing on acknowledgment alone.
