Dear Sir,

Hope your doing well,

My name is Simran Athiwal, I recently travelled on your bus, and I would like to discuss about my suitcase that was damaged.

My trip was on 25th January at 7:00 am, and I travelled Barcelona to Badalona. At 6:30 am, I was at the bus stop and everyone started to putt the suitcases on the vehicle. There was a lot of crowd but I managed the situation and putted my one also. I had a blue color suitcase with a big flower in middle, after the trip when I arrived im Badalona, and picked op my suitcase, I was extremelly disappointed due to the reason that it was totally opened and the wheels were broken.

I am waiting to you hope, expecting that I would got the claim that I deserve. Due to the reason, that the company was responsible for he lauggage it should now found for the incident happened. I will send you details for my bank accound, and on all the essential information needed. Hopefully, you can claim the damage that I had.

Looking forward to your response

Simran Athwal
