Dear Sir,

I hope you are doing okay.I am writing with report an item of mine which i forgot during my last trip dated 12th September,2025.

Well, i was a passenger on seat 123 with the classic train that made its departure to garoua at 9pm. On that day, i was carrying a blue laptop bag amongst other bags which i placed under my seat for safety.In the bag, was a silver HD laptop and a small notebook with lessons on English language. With the tiredness that c ame with the trip, i must have forgotten it when we got to our destination.

With this said, i will really appreciate if you send out information to the train driver and hostesses who were part of the journey.In addition, could you request for the bag to be searched in the lost but found item room.

Thank you for your time and i hope to hear from you soonest.

Yours sincerely,

Winnie.
