Dear Sir,

My name is Zechariah Miranda Sebastian, and I recently, on December 3, 2024, boarded a flight from Dubai to London. While departing the plane, I left a piece of my luggage in the overhead compartment. I only became aware of it when I checked into the hotel.

As I have come here on official photography business, I am in urgent need of that bag, as it contains my documents pertaining to my clients and extra hardware essential for my camera. The bag is made of black leather, shaped like a lunch bag. It has an Adidas logo on it in the center, with just one long strap that goes around the shoulder. The bag has three zippers and two side pockets.

I request that you keep it at your airline’s office when you find it. I have attached my contact details at the bottom of this letter so that it is easier to contact you for further inquiries. Your help in obtaining my bag would be worthy of my unending gratitude.

I hope I get a call or an email back soon.

Thank you,

Zechariah Miranda Sebastian
