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 your insurance company. In your letter ● describe the item you lost ● explain how you lost it ● tell the insurance company what you would like them to do. Begin your letter as follows:

Dear sir or madam, I am writing
this
letter with regard to the
laptop
that I lost during my vacation in Dubai
last
week. It was a silver-coloured mini
laptop
built by Dell that was bought by me
last
year.
This
unfortunate loss happened at the Delhi airport while I was going through a security check before boarding my flight. I was carrying the
laptop
in a side bag when a person
next
to me in the queue asked me to hold his stuff for a while because he had to use the restroom and he was
also
having the same kind of side bag that I had and accidentally I handed over him my bag and I came to know it later when I boarded the plane and
then
I had no chance to look for that individual and my stuff. As my
laptop
was insured by you, it would be very kind of you if you could initiate the process of settling the cost that your company promised to give at the time I bought the policy for the
laptop
. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully,
