Dear Sir / Madam, I write this letter to inform you that I lost my backpack in the train bound Ahmedabad from Rajkot on 2nd April, 2021. The backpack is red in colour and has "Manchester" written over it. It contains my laptop, along with a spare change of clothes. It is pertinent that I find this bag as the laptop contains very crucial data which I am due to present in a company meeting tomorrow. I travelled in the bogey S-2 and my seat number was 41. I left my bag below my seat, the reason which, I forgot to pick it up while de-boarding the train. The train had arrived at 2: 00 p. m. at the station and it was the last time I saw the bag with me. I request your good self to kindly enquire the train cleaning staff if they have found the aforementioned bag during their rounds. If so, I request you to kindly call me on the mobile number on the envelope of this letter and I shall arrive to pick it up at the earliest. Yours faithfully, Mark Gonzalves
