Dear Sir/Madam My name is Clementine and I travelled on your train on 15th August 2023 on a train from Paris to London. The departure time was 10h00. I am writing to you because I lost my laptop on it. I had 2 bags, one was yellow and another was red. The red one had a name tag on it and the laptop was inside of it. I was sitting in car 18, seat A87. The was a small table in front of me where I put my two bags after boarding. The
last
time I checked the red one was still under the table,
therefore
I am sure that I left it on the train. Please check that place for me and let me know as soon as you find it. Here is my number, please call me and I will come to collect it myself. I appreciate your support on
this
. Sincerely
