When the trip was canceled due to the war in ****** and Ghaza, our travel administrator worked with Educational Opportunities Tours and the Airline to secure our refunds. I was issued a check for $4600 and assuming it was the correct refund, proceeded to deposited it to my checking account. The refund was immediately withdrawn by the issuer with no explanation. I was subsequently issued a new check in the amount of $1685.46. At this point, I called Educational Opportunities Tours and learned that the correct refund was $3800.

I have not deposited the check for $1685.46 and am waiting for the full balance of $2114.54. I would prefer to get a one check for the correct amount as I am unable to trust this organization to do the right thing by their customer. All receipts and correspondence are attached. Thank you for considering this urgent matter. *********************************
