Dear Sir or Madam,

I am Zakir Mohammed, writing this letter to you to report about an incident that has happened with me last week when I was travelling to London from Paris through your airlines.

I would like to report to you that I forgot to grab my bag while boarding off the flight in London. I had no sense of leaving my bag behind until I reached the hotel room. It was small bag, made of leather and the color was grey. The bag had a Tommy Hilfiger logo on it. Inside the bag there was my Driver’s license card and approximately 90 dollars of cash.

I request you to return my bag if it was collected by your lost and found department. I could certainly provide you more information as such the flight number I was travelling and my seat number on flight too. In case if it was not recovered by the department, I would like the airlines to investigate on the issue and come up with an answer.

Hoping to hear some positive news from you.

Yours sincerely,

Zakir Mohammed.
