On a recent holiday, you lost a valuable item. Fortunately you have travel insurance to cover the cost of anything lost. Write a letter to the manager of the company – describe the item lost – explain how you lost it – tell the insurance company what you would like them to do

Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to file an insurance claim for baggage that was lost during my holiday
last
week. The
luggage
is a green, medium-sized Samsonite model. Since
this
holiday was the
first
time it had been used, it should appear to be in good condition. Unfortunately, it does not have a
luggage
tag with my contact information. While I am not completely sure how the
luggage
was lost, I imagine that the airline might have placed it on a different flight. In fact, I have been in contact with the airline and they are almost certain that
this
is the most probable scenario. Before I left, I had taken out travel insurance with your company. Based on the information in the contract, lost
luggage
is covered.
Therefore
, I have attached the insurance claim and I would appreciate it if your company could review the approximated value of the
luggage
and process the attached claim as soon as possible. Please let me know if you require any other information. Yours faithfully, Ashwini
