Your id card has been stolen. Write a letter to the local police station, giving detail. Who are you? What happened? Ask what you should do to get a new id card.
Dear sir or madam,
I am writing
this
letter to file a complaint about the identification card
of the university
that has been stolen yesterday.
I am Eva Smith, a student at Oxford University
, London, and studying for a bachelor of computers in 2nd year. Moreover
, I live on the university
campus and I need an id card
to enter the university
.
Furthermore
, I missed it between the 27th and 28th of February when I went to visit the museum with my friends that were not far away from my university
campus. I think I lost my card
in the museum because there were a lot of crowds. However
, when I came to the university
at that time realized that I lost my card
.
All in all, I informed the dean about the lost id card
, and then
he suggested I file a report at the police station. Moreover
, my card
was valid till the 31st of March 2023. It has my name, photographs, and the logo of the university
. My id number is BC12345. As I am a student and I need that card
. I am hoping that you will file a complaint and send a copy. So I can apply for a new identification card
.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Yours faithfully,
Eva Smith.Submitted by rajveersra55 on

The Greeting
Depending on the style and aim of the letter, you will need to adapt your greeting.
Always start an informal letter in the ways:
- Dear + name
- Hi / Hello + name
‘Dear...’ is more appropriate, so stick with this.
For a formal letter there are two options for the greeting:
- Use Dear Sir or Madam if you don’t know the name of the person you are writing to.
- Use Dear + surname if you do know their name, e.g. Dear Mr Smith or Dear Mrs Jones.
