Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing
this
letter to inform you about my luggage that I left at your
station
yesterday
while
catching the
train
and want to give you some advice on how I can collect it. Regarding my journey, I made a travel plan and booked the
train
ticket from Chandigarh city to Amritsar city for yesterday. My
train
was all set to leave platform number 2, sharply at 9 a.m.
However
, because of being myself a bit late, I completely forgot one of my bags at the railing
station
after the security check in order to catch the
train
in a rush. Even though I was successful in getting on the
train
, I realised about left my bag on platform number 2 when the
train
left the railway
station
. The luggage that I forgot was a medium-sized red coloured bag. Not only does it have four wheels but
also
has two additional zips on the sides.
Although
I locked
this
suitcase properly and put my name tag on it, the reason I am most worried about it is that my academic documents are in it which I need on an urgent basis.
Therefore
, after calling the Lost & Found Counter of your
station
, I was informed that your staff has found my suitcase,
however
, they can not send it to my current location.
As a result
, I am suggesting to you that I can pay mailing charges online to parcel my suitcase at my house address. You can find the address details from my ticket registration number – HAR2045. I would highly appreciate your instant response to
this
letter. Yours faithfully, Harpal Singh
