If someone has a form letter they'd share with me, I'd really appreciate it.

I was booked on LHR-US for today, but the flight cancelled due to mechanical issues (as stated by UA), and I was moved to the same flight tomorrow. It would seem that I am eligible for the full 600 GBP amount.
KDCAflyer , did you ever get anything figured out? I just departed LHR a few days ago on a UA flight (LHR-EWR-SFO-XXX, all on the same PNR), and my EWR-SFO flight was delayed (not due to weather, strikes, etc, but simply due to the arriving plane landing 15 minutes late, which somehow caused the departing flight to leave ~1 hour 20 minutes late), which caused me to miss the SFO-XXX flight which was the last one of the day, so I had a forced overnight at SFO, and rebooked on the first flight the next morning (eventually arriving 10.5 hours later than I was originally scheduled to arrive). I believe this should be eligible for UK261. How would I best go about requesting the amount due?
