Dear Sir/Madam, I hope
this
 letter finds you in good health. I am Sthevani, one of your customers that used your Bus service provided by your company. I am writing
this
 to inform you about the damage to my suitcase after I used the service.
Firstly
, allow me to give you the details. I travelled to Bogor on January 21st from Bandung. I ordered my ticket through your website and my ticket number is JR2002, my departure was at 2 PM and my arrival was at 4 PM. After I arrived at Bandung, I found out that something happened to my suitcase because it looked defective. It has a bright blue colour so I can clearly see the damage caused by the irresponsible staff on the body parts.
Also
, the wheels are broken so I have to lift the luggage
while
 walking.
Nevertheless
, I suggest you investigate
this
 and how it can happen and I would appreciate it if you were willing to
responsible
Add a missing verb
be responsible
show examples
 for giving a replacement since it looks impossible to repair. I look forward to hearing an update to
this
 letter with a piece of good news. Best regards, Sandra
