Hello there,
I subscribed to the Duolingo family plan in [Month] of [Year] and I paid a total amount of [Amount].
However, it seems that I can no longer continue to use it due to some unforeseen financial problems that have befallen me.
This means that I will not be able to afford to continue running or using this plan and getting some of the ‘Unused’ money will be helpful to me at this time.
I have also read and gone over your terms of service and I am glad to have discovered that I can request a refund before my next billing date.
I have attached the receipts that prove that I purchased the family plan, and also this is the email associated with my purchase and my username on Duolingo is [Duolingo username]
I hope to hear from you soon, thank you.
[Your first and last name]
