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,
