Asking for a refund

Answer

I would say: "I would therefore appreciate a full refund." and "I would therefore appreciate a full reimbursement of the expenses incurred as a result of the damages." You, a person, incur expense, not the damages. You could also say "a full reimbursement of the costs of the damages".

If you wanted to be more forceful, you might substitute "expect" for "would appreciate".

Answer

This is not academic. Maybe formal?
The second one needs work
I would therefore appreciate it if you could reimburse ...
not sure what "any expenses the damage has incurred." means, sorry.
"any expenses the damage has caused."?
