Sample Answer:
Dear Manager,
I am writing this letter to inform you that unfortunately I forgot some of my clothes at your hotel after my recent stay over there.
I had the pleasure of staying in room number 345 at your prestigious hotel, four point something, Toronto from 12th November to 14th November recently. Regretfully, it seems I checked out of the room with a set of clothes still in there.
The missing items are a grey pair of pants, a white collared shirt, and a navy-blue jacket. The trousers have a subtle pinstripe pattern, and the jacket has a noticeable leather patch on the left sleeve. Crucially, the pants’ pocket held important documents, including the entry card to my workplace, without which access is currently restricted.
I would appreciate your help finding and protecting these items. If the items are located, please have the hotel arrange for them to be shipped to my address at 56 Carvel Drive, Kitchener. I am ready to pay for any related expenses.
I would greatly appreciate your prompt attention.
Yours sincerely,
Daniel
