Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to report a missing bag from my recent flight with your airline company, coming from Algiers to London on Wednesday, the 5th of August. Unfortunately, I forgot to retrieve my bag from the overhead compartment when disembarking at Heathrow Airport.

The bag in question is a brown leather, rounded, medium-sized crossbody handbag featuring two gold zipper pockets on the front. Inside, the bag contains some important items. It contains a silver iPad, white wireless headphones, a notebook, and a red leather wallet with my bank cards within. Additionally, the right zipped pocket has a black metallic business card holder with my cards inside. I hope this description may be helpful to identify my bag.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could check the lost and found department at the airport and kindly request to return the bag to me at my current hotel. I am more than willing to cover any shipping fees associated with the return.

Thank you for your assistance. I look forward to your prompt response.

Sincerely yours,

Fatima D.
