Dear Ricky,

Hope you are in pink!

I am writing this letter to bring in your notice that during the house warming gathering at your place on this weekend,I have mistakenly forgot my outfitter containing my few essential items in it.

Firstly, I would like to enlighten you about the attributes of my outfit for your easy accessibility. It is a knee length beige colour trench coat with two pockets on the sides.As I have used the common restroom located on the left side of the entrance in your house and I am quite sure that I have left my coat at the back of the washroom door.

As you are aware, that I came directly from my workplace to your residence. Hence, not only my office keys are there inside the coat, but also my mini red wallet consisting of personal debit card and a cash amounted to $550.

I usually leave for work at 9.30am and your house is located in the vicinity of my workplace I would really appreciate if you could meet me at the reception area of office to return my coat along with the other belongings. Since,I always have time crunch during morning hours, else I would have picked the stuff by myself.

Thank you for your help in advance and I’m looking forward to seeing you on Tuesday.

Yours lovingly,

Harneet
