On a recent holiday you lost a valuable item. Fortunately, you have travel insurance to cover the cost of anything lost. Write a letter to the manager of your insurance company. In your letter, explain What you lost How you lost it What you want the insurance company to do
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing
this
letter to make a claim on the travel insurance which I took out with your company last
year.
Unfortunately, while
travelling around Roma, I lost my laptop in the hotel that I lived in. After finishing the check-in, my husband and I went out sightseeing and we locked the room securely. However
, when we returned, my laptop disappeared. I immediately telephoned the police and enclosed the form that they provided.
Despite the fact that I had only had this
laptop for a fortnight, it contained a considerable amount of valuable and confidential data. It will take me a huge percentage of time to redo the work that I lost. Furthermore
, I have had to inform the financial institutions to cancel my credit cards and ensure that the thief cannot access my accounts.
Having read the terms and conditions of my policy, I think I am entitled to claim for the value of the computer itself and for the time spent dealing with the repercussions of the incident.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Yours faithfully,
