Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to you to inform you about my
bag
which was missed on the plane during my recent flight. Let me explain the situation. I boarded London Airways LT567 from Dubai to London on 25th May, Saturday 9:00 am and occupied seat E6. I slept off during the whole travel and woke up exactly when the flight landed. I stepped out in a hurry and inadvertently placed the
bag
in the aircraft itself. The
bag
contains valuable items
such
as certificates, a wallet which includes credit cards and 200 dollars, and house keys. I informed the police and the bank about credit cards,
however
, I am concerned about my educational documents. If these documents are lost, it will take several months for the university to recreate them which will adversely affect my higher studies plan. Would you kindly investigate and take the necessary steps to return my
bag
.
Change the punctuation
?

The item could be returned to the same address as given in the name slip stuck on the
bag
. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully, Gloria Mathew
