SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear Sir,
My name is John and I work in the accounts section of our company as senior accounts manager. I am writing this letter to inform you that my bag, which contained some important company documents, has been stolen. I would also like to apologise for my carelessness.
As I was going home on Friday in my car, I stopped at the petrol pump to get some petrol and to get the air checked in the tires of my car. I was out of my car for about 5 minutes over there. After that, I stopped at the chemist shop for about five minutes, as I had to buy some medicines for my mother. In my hurry I did not lock my car there. On reaching home I discovered that my briefcase was not there on the back seat. I remembered very well that I had put it there.
The bag contained all the account reports of this month, which I know are very confidential. The company’s laptop was also in the bag, as I intended to sit and do some work on the weekend. I realise that the documents are very important for the company.
I have reported an FIR in the police station. Both places, the chemist shop and the petrol pump, have surveillance cameras fitted. I only hope the footage reveals some positive results. Once again I apologise for all this inconvenience.
Yours faithfully,
