Dear Sir or Madam,

I would like to express my concern about the fact that a few days ago, I took a flight from London to Canada. Due to some reason, I arrived at the airport just at the exact time and, for this reason, I was in a hurry to complete all the boarding procedures. Obviously, I was stressed because of all these things that happened to me on that day. And as a result of this, I forgot my luggage when I got off the plane.

Furthermore, my bag carries many important documents, which I need very urgently because my company is organizing a group discussion and, due to this, all these papers are very necessary. So, particularly, my bag is dark blue in color with four zips. Moreover, it contains three to four types of clothes, a white Apple MacBook, a grey Chromebook, and five to six passport-sized pictures.

I would be grateful if you could inform me as soon as possible. All my contact details are attached to my ticket number, i.e., KP3764373. If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to call me.

Yours faithfully,

Komalpreet Kaur
