While travelling by metro train, your credit card slipped out of your pocket. You realized this only after reaching home. Write a letter to the concerned authorities and explain what happened.
My name is Madhur Bathla. I am writing
this
letter with reference to a credit card that slipped out of my pocket while
I was travelling in the metro, yesterday. However
, when I reached my home then
I got to realise that I have left my belonging on the train.
I would like to tell the concerned authorities about the incident. To elaborate, I boarded the crowded metro that runs between Huda city centre and Central Secretariat.
I boarded the train at Connaught Place and when I entered the metro, I took the wallet out of the left pocket of my jeans where my card also
came out with it and fell on the floor.
I would like to raise a request to the station authorities to get the second last
compartment of the train checked, and if they find any credit ticket of American Express company then
they must keep it safe and secure with themselves.
I apologize for the inconvenience caused, and I am looking forward to hearing any update from the station staff regarding my lost item.
Yours Sincerely,
Madhur BathlaSubmitted by madhur.bathla 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.
