Request Letter #1 (to hotel manager)

You have just spent a weekend staying at the Lilo Hotel in Adelaide. When you get home you find that you have left a bat at the hotel.
Write to the manager of the hotel and enquire whether the bag has been found. Give any relevant information about the bag and its contents. Ask the manager to contract you immediately if the bag is found and tell him/her how the bag can be sent to you.


Dear Mr. Simpson,

I stayed in your hotel on the 23rd and the 24th of October. I was in room 603. When I arrived home I discovered that I had left one of my bags at the hotel. Could you please check your Lost and Found department and see if my bag is there?

The bag is the small, black leather, document cast with a narrow strap. Inside the bag you will find several business cards, a Mont Blanc fountain pen, a small address book and three copies of a business proposal. Also, a silver pocket calculator. These things are not very valuable in money terms, but they have a lot of personal value.

I would appreciate it if you contact me as soon as possible, particularly since I need the proposals for a presentation this week. If you could send the bag to me by courier service I would be most grateful. I have arranged to pay for the service on delivery.

Thank you for your help.

Yours sincerely,

Fatima Terihm
