Dear Sir or Madam, My name is SJ and my
insurance
number is 123. I am writing
this
email to you as I would like to claim my
travel
insurance
to cover my lost item on my Thailand Trip. I lost my personal laptop which I used to store my
travel
photos and save my personal files
such
as my resume and study materials. I left my laptop on the table in a coffee shop when I grabbed my coffee at the counter. I was so surprised that it just took me 3 minutes away from the table. As I bought
travel
insurance
for my trip to Thailand and the
insurance
claim threshold is within CNY5,000, I would like to claim the full threshold to cover the cost of my lost laptop. Can you please send me the procedure for claiming
travel
insurance
as well as
the supporting documents which I need to prepare? Your prompt response will be highly appreciated Thanks, and regards SJ.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
