– explain the situation
– request a new card as soon as possible.
SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear
I am writing to advise you that I lost my student identification card yesterday and to ask for a new card to be issued as quickly as possible. There are several reasons why I need a new card by the end of this week.
I live in the outer suburbs and depend on both trains and buses to get to class every day. I also need a student card to be able to borrow library books to complete my assignments. Less importantly, I cannot afford to go the cinema unless I leave a student discount. Again, I need the card for that.
Most importantly, however, I use this card as proof of identification when withdrawing money from the bank. This week I have to pay rent for next month and will have to withdraw a large amount of money to cover this. I pay the rent by bank cheque.
I apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Yours faithfully,
John Smith
