This

letter is to bring to your notice about the loss of my

a few days back, and furnish details about the product, incident, and required actions to aid the official insurance procedures. During my latest visit to Jacksonville, Florida, my

Ipad

was misplaced. The

iPad

features a black back cover case with three scratches, slightly to the right side of the front-facing camera.

Additionally

pencil could not be found, which was placed inside my rucksack. Not only my

iPad

IPad

in the safety lockers.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 150 words in writing task 1. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long letter will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 160 to 190 words in writing task 1. This will ensure a concise letter and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 20 minutes to write the letter and you need around 5 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long letter in 15 minutes.
