Dear Sir/Madam
My name is Oleksandr Kholodnyi and I am a client of the transport company which you are in charge of.
I am writing
this
letter for asking help or a piece of advice. Let me describe a problem, please.
Yesterday evening I was returning from the University on a company bus
with route number 628. As usual, I left the bus
at the finish stop and on the way to my home noticed that my bag with a laptop inside remained on the top shelf under my seat.
As I use this
route regularly, I know that my stop is the last
of the workday. I suppose that bus
drove directly to the depot soon. And I hope nobody except the driver could find my valuable item.
May I ask you to check that bus
and the driver on that shift? I can bring a ticket and a description of the bag's contents if it is necessary.
All my documents and study are on this
laptop. I believe this
great company have a founds biuro and you are able to help me in this
awful situation. I will be very appreciative of this
.
I am looking forward to your response soon.
Best regards,
Oleksandr KholodnyiSubmitted by sashko.holodniy on
