got off the
train
in Delhi, I think I might have missed my black
bag
on the
train
. I am writing to you to see if my
bag
has been found and submitted to your office. The
Bag
itself is not particularly distinctive. It is in a completely Black colour with sea Green Color Strips around the Zips, it is an old
bag
and scuffed from years of use. There is no particular valuable item in it except my
passport
. The
passport
number is XY238Y09 and was issued by the
Passport
Authority of India in Delhi on December 2019. Aside from the
passport
, there are only some papers with a Demand Draft of Rupees 5000 related to my university studies. Would you be so kind as to check if my
bag
has been handed into your office? Please let me know whether it has or has not by calling me on (91) 9711345708. Yours Faithfully Aishwarya

Structure your letter

A letter needs to be written using a proper format, including the following:

  • A greeting (Dear sir/madam, Dear John, Dear Mr. Smith)
  • The main body (consisting of paragraphs for each part of the letter)
  • A closing (Yours sincerely, Yours faithfully, Best wishes, Kind regards, Love)

When writing a letter as part of the IELTS General Training Writing Task 1, it is important to include the bullet points presented to you in the question.

All three bullet points need to be presented. And remember that some bullet points contain more than one element. So, make sure to watch for ‘and’ and plurals.
