Dear Sir,

I was a passanger on your July 27th afternoon flight to London. However, when I arrived at my hotel I realised that one of my bags was missing. I believe I can have left it on the plane.

The bag that is missing is a blue and grey small Reebok backpack with yellow parts. It is a typical hiking backpack which I use also for short holidays. I forgot to put a label with my name on it, however it should have a couple books in it – I remember one is about Windsor Castle, the other is “Canterbury Tales”. Except for that, there is some clothes and my camera.

I would be grateful if you would check your lugage department and to let me know if you find it. You can contact me at the house or email address I wrote above.

I look forward to hearing from you,

Yours faithfully,

Gyorgy Nagy
