You now realise that you left a small bag of personal possessions in your room.
Write to the family describing the things you left behind. Ask them to send some or all of them to you. Offer to cover the costs.

Dear Sonia, Hope you are doing great. It was a great experience to live altogether. As you know that I was so excited on that day when I had a flight to come back home and at the same time I left my small Michael Kors backpack in my room. It has so much valuable paperwork and items.
First
and the foremost thing is that it has my all documents related to my education and work experience. Other than that there should be a Pen engraved with my name, which was presented by my grandparents on my eighteenth birthday.
In addition
to ,that it has a small bag inside with one thousand US dollars.
However
, it would be really great if you will courier my bag via the shipping company. I will reimburse all the charges including your fuel cost.
Furthermore
, please share your bank details with the receipt of courier charges and fuel costs for your car. I will send back the money as soon as possible. Hopefully, I will get my bag in the
next
few days and be able to proceed with my job. Yours faithfully, Alia
