I am writing to bring the matter of leaving my wallet on a flight by your airline, to your attention.
On the 20th of September, I was returning from a business trip to London, and after an I had long busy week I was very tired. When the plane landed in Manchester, I was asleep and the flight assistant woke me up. Because of that and I was hurry to get home, I left my moneybags in the bag of my former seat .
I need to tell you that my moneybags are very important to me because there are a couple of pictures of my family that have sentimental value for me.
Moreover
, if I don't have my money back again, I have to cancel my credit cards and apply for my driving license again. In addition
, it includes a flash memory of my company where I stored my last
project output, unless it is found, I have to work several days overtime.
I would be grateful if your employees on that plane searched for my moneybags, and if they find it, send it to my address in Manchester.
I look forward to receiving your answer.
Yours faithfully,
