Dear Sir or Madam, I am Karthi and I am a customer of your airline and travelled
last
week from London to Vancouver. I am writing
this
letter to let you know that I forgot to take back my travel bag after arrival and request you to find and hand over the bag. I remember that after a security check-in in London I keep with me and take it on the plane. I forgot to take it back from the storage area once I reach here. I request you please trace and give it to me which was so important that all my financial related papers and other official documents are inside the bag. I will give some identification about my wallet for your reference which is brown in colour and my photo and address details are shown on the front side and
also
has a number locked system. Thanks for your consideration and hope for a positive response from your side. Regards Karthi

Structure your letter

A letter needs to be written using a proper format, including the following:

  • A greeting (Dear sir/madam, Dear John, Dear Mr. Smith)
  • The main body (consisting of paragraphs for each part of the letter)
  • A closing (Yours sincerely, Yours faithfully, Best wishes, Kind regards, Love)

When writing a letter as part of the IELTS General Training Writing Task 1, it is important to include the bullet points presented to you in the question.

All three bullet points need to be presented. And remember that some bullet points contain more than one element. So, make sure to watch for ‘and’ and plurals.
