This
bag is of immense value to me, it is a blue handbag with a red ribbon wrapped around the handle, it contains my mobile phone as well as
important work documents. I was sitting at seat 27B on the train.
Apparently, I would appreciate it if the management could inquire from the boarding staff on duty yesterday as well as
check through the train CCTV cameras. Probably it is in safe hands because these documents are of substantial value to me and my office.
I would appreciate your immediate attention to this
matter.
Yours Faithfully,
