#hotel #home #papers #manager
Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing
this
 letter regarding an important document I left at your hotel by mistake, after attending the retailing conference
last
 Sunday. The
last
 place I remember having the papers with me was during lunch break. I was sitting at a table located in the restaurant's left corner, with a view of the Three Sisters Mountain Resort. Unfortunately, I do not recall if I left it on the table or a chair. The reason why it is extremely important for me to get these papers back is because it is about a housing contract from one of my clients. More importantly, it is signed and my client is abroad, making it impossible for her to sign another document. I would really appreciate it if you could send these papers to me as soon as possible at the address attached to
this
 letter. If
that is
 not possible, please keep it in a safe place in the reception area and I will pick it up. I am very thankful for your assistance on the matter and I look forward to receiving your response. Yours faithfully, Amanda Lago
