provided me with the slip in which the
laptop
model and other accessories were mentioned. When I was in Dubai, I was sitting in a Starbucks with my
laptop
. Unfortunately, I forgot to pick up my
laptop
.
However
, when I came back to the store they checked on their CCTV camera that a person in black clothes took the
laptop
bag and left the place. I would like you to provide me with the insured amount for the items because I have to buy another
laptop
urgently.
Further
, I would
also
require you to confirm from the Dubai’s office of yours to check with the Dubai police, if they have found the lost items. Awaiting your prompt reply. Yours Faithfully, Jaskaran Singh Awal
