Text and translation

I am writing about the meeting room we booked for 14 May. Our confirmation listed a projector, but no working projector was available when we arrived. As a result, we had to change the planned format of the session. The reception staff tried to help, and we appreciate their efforts. However, the service provided did not match the confirmed booking. Please explain what resolution you can offer and how similar problems will be prevented.

أكتب بشأن غرفة الاجتماعات التي حجزناها ليوم 14 مايو. تضمن التأكيد جهاز عرض، لكن لم يتوفر جهاز يعمل عند وصولنا. نتيجة لذلك، اضطررنا إلى تغيير الصيغة المخططة للجلسة. حاول موظفو الاستقبال المساعدة، ونحن نقدر جهودهم. لكن الخدمة المقدمة لم تطابق الحجز المؤكد. يرجى توضيح الحل الذي يمكنكم تقديمه وكيف ستُمنع مشكلات مشابهة.
