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

In the current era of society, the role of social media is indispensable and the people who do not use it, may face dire consequence in the form of the growth of their professions.
