Dear Sir or Madam,
Last
week I had a flight to London provided by your airlines. Unfortunately, I forgot my handbag on board, and I mentioned it only when I got to the hotel. I hope we can find a solution to this
accident.
I would like to provide you with the clutch description. It is a black handbag with 2 leashes; one leash is very short and also
black, situated on the top of the bag
,and another one has a form of chain and is made from steel, and has a particular view. Also
, on the outer side of the bag
, there is a peculiar lock with the letters of the brand, the letters are Y, V and S. I need to emphasize the size, it is a small bag
, not bigger than 20 cm for each side. Inside the clutch there were my documents from my country of origin,my credit card and the red lipstick.
What returning options can you suggest? It would be great if your company could send it to my hotel, but receiving it at the airport can be an option as well.
Looking forward to hearing that my bag
is found and safe.
Best Regards,
