Dear Sir/Madam,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to report a valuable item I lost during my train journey from Ahmedabad to Surat on August 14th, 2025.

The item in question is a red leather Prada purse, which features a Marvel logo keychain. It is relatively heavy and has a cardholder attached at the back. Additionally, I had an Apple AirTag affixed to the purse, which indicates its last known location was in Bharuch city.

I disembarked at Surat around 3:30 AM, and tracking my AirTag, I noticed that the last location was recorded at Bharuch at 3:45 AM. It is possible that someone found the purse and turned it in to the station master.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could check with your lost and found department and inform me if my purse has been retrieved. Your assistance in this matter would mean a great deal to me.

Thank you for your attention to this issue. I look forward to your prompt response.

Best regards,

Ria
