Seems to me like all you've been doing is a lot of sitting around. Get active. Go to the post office and explain your situation and find out if the letter was delivered and where it is now.
Also call the airline and ask if they recieved the letter and how long its gonna take to refund your money. If they claim they never recieved it then ask if you can email or fax it to them. Thats much faster than snail mail and things could get settled much sooner.
(if you don't have a fax machine you can ask your dr's office to fax it for you) sitting around asking questions on Y! A is not goin gto get you your refund.
..the letter probably did arrive ..but ryanair is just about the most obnoxious company on the planet ...they ignor most complaints and seldom give refunds ..call watchdog . Bbc ..they love them as much as me.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
