Dear Sir/Madam, I hope
this
message finds you well. I am writing to notify you of an issue I encountered during my recent journey by train. Upon boarding, I realized I had inadvertently left my
bag
on the platform at St Pancras International on the 28th of October at 4 p.m. The
bag
was left on a bench near Platform 2. The
bag
is black with a red stripe and contains several important items, including personal documents, a laptop, and various personal effects. The documents comprise my ID card, a notebook, and some official papers. The laptop is a silver Dell model, easily identifiable by a sticker on its cover. I would be grateful if you could check if the
bag
has been found and advise me on how I can retrieve it. Your assistance in
this
matter would be greatly appreciated. I am available to visit the station at a convenient time if necessary. Thank you very much for your help. Yours sincerely,
Anghelina
Correct your spelling

Use cohesive linking words accurately and appropriately

Linking words are very important in your essay.

To score effectively on your IELTS exam, you should make an effort to implement short concise sentences coupled with linking words.

Almost every sentence in your essay should have a linking word of some sort.

In fact, the only sentences that can omit linking words are your background sentence and thesis.

Linking word examples:

  • firstly
  • secondly
  • thirdly
  • in additional
  • moreover
  • also
  • for example
  • for instance
  • therefore
  • however
  • although
