Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing this letter to you regarding my lost of a valuable item: ‘an Apple iPhone 4S of white color’, during the vacation time last week. Allow me to describe the whole situation for you.
7 days ago, I was in the London on a holiday trip with my family. At the June 27, a movie , Transformer : Age of Extinction, was being watched by us in a famous London cinema, then the cell phone slipped from my pocket on the theater’s sitting seat, and I was unaware about the happening of this unfortunate event, until we reached our hotel room. Then, the whole matter was come into my notice, and the enquiry was done by me immediately, but it was too late.
Given the circumstances, now, it would be greatly appreciated by me if your company could give the claim, which the price, 400$, of the mobile phone, as soon as possible, so that a new cell phone can be bought by me. I shall be very thankful to you for this.
Yours faithfully,
James Smith.

What is the reason that the passive voice is not recommended ?
if something is in first
if something is in first person (“I” or “we”), it’s better to use the active voice. It is logically more clear.
Make active voice your default setting: use it as a matter of course, switching to passive only when you have a persuasive stylistic reason to do so.
ok,but if I use the first
ok,but if I use the first person voice, then lots of sentences will start with I. Is this okay?
It is not OK either. Look,
It is not OK either. Look, what is the great difference between 'I' and 'by me'?
You can use either 'I' or 'by me', but you will need to improve the language to use them as less as possible. Compare following two sentences and you will get an idea:
A: I like the car. The color of the car is red.
B: The read car strikes my heart.
Borrow books from library or search online and learn academic essay writing.
