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 heaviness that I forgot to carry the
phone
with me when coming out from the train. For your confirmation, I have received a few calls from my friends and colleagues on the train.
Thus
, 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
