#hotel #country #room #checkout #manager #hat
Dear Mr or Mrs Hotel Manager, My name is Kseniia and the reason I am writing to you is to inform you that I lost my valuable things in a room and I want to know if you found them.
To begin
 with, I stayed in your hotel from 5 to 10 March, and it was a premium room.
Firstly
 we had problems with my accommodation so you offered me another at a higher price. To clarify, I paid for it 1500 dollars.
Consequently
, when I checked out of the hotel, I did not notice that I had forgotten my stuff. When I got home, only after 2 days I realized that I could not find my cash (2000 dollars) and my Chanel perfume.
In addition
, you can inform me if there were any phone waterproof cases because I think I lost them too.
To sum up
, I want to know if you have found anything after cleaning the room. If yes, we should discuss on the phone how to get my things back to me. My number is +380667659086. I am truly grateful for any help you can give me and I look forward to receiving your reply. Yours sincerely, Kseniia Malokhatlo

  • The main body (consisting of paragraphs for each part of the letter)
  • A closing (Yours sincerely, Yours faithfully, Best wishes, Kind regards, Love)

When writing a letter as part of the IELTS General Training Writing Task 1, it is important to include the bullet points presented to you in the question.
