Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to inform you that I lost my Mobile
phone
while
I was coming from Biratnagar to Kathmandu from your train Bullet Express yesterday dated 15th June 2023 around 5 PM. The cell that I was carrying with me was Samsung A80. I have a good feeling that I carried the
phone
with me when riding the train. I
also
received a few calls from my friends and colleague and colleagues in the train compartment.
However
, I am quite certain that I left the call up near the window of Section-13 where my reservation was booked
while
we were about to reach the destination.
Therefore
, I request you to search for my
phone
in the same compartment and ask you to return it to me. There is a high chance of my
phone
being in the exact place where it was left because the place is in the corner of the segment where People rarely look in that part. I will reach your office to collect the
phone
at 4 PM today. Thanking you in advance in anticipation. With best regards, Kabir Hamal
