Dear Sir or Madam, Disappointingly, I lost my
laptop
on the train. It was a grey MacBook Pro. Top-secret documents from the UK Military agency were saved on
this
computer’s HDD which you can recognise thanks to a large label with the text "TOP SECRET" written on it.
This
item is very important to me, my mother gave it to me on my birthday. I went from London to Bristol on the morning train and was sitting
next
to the window seat 10, carriage 5. I think I left the
laptop
when my station was announced and I was hurrying to the city. Would you be kind enough to look for my
laptop
computer? I can assume that the train conductor could see my computer. I’m hoping the crew might have noticed it. Have you found it by any chance? If you find my
laptop
, please call or text me. I’m looking forward to hearing from you. Best regards, Vladimir Chilikov
