Solution
● Dear Sirs,
● Subject: Robbery and Vandalism at my place
● My name is Ayyan Umair. I am writing to report a robbery that took place on 20th
September. On the day in question, I was shopping in the market between 09:00 am and
11:00 am. When I returned to my house, I found out that the door was broken, and the
furniture inside was mostly missing and the remaining untidy.
● I immediately checked the entire house and unfortunately, I found out that some valuable
items were long gone. I pondered over for some time and I found out that the items that
were stolen included a diamond bracelet and a silver watch. The silver watch is made up of
pure 925 silver and the diameter of the watch is 2 cm (with Roman numerals making the
numbers). The bracelet is a simple gold bangle and it has diamonds engraved at its
perimeters. 9
Cont…
● Furthermore, I noticed that some fingerprints on my bedroom mirror. A piece of red cloth (fairly
untidy) caught in the door handle was also found indicating that the thieves were in a hurry.
Moreover, there were footprints in my garden as well.
● I believe that you might be able to trace the robbers by viewing the cctv cameras in the town. You
may also visit the nearby jewellery shops to find out whether the bracelet is sold or not.
● To conclude, I hope that you can quickly solve the robbery case and locate my belongings at the
earliest. I will help you in any way I can. You can contact me on my cell number and even can pay
a visit to the address that is mentioned at the back of the envelope this letter came with.
● Thank you
● Cordially
● Name
● Signature
● Date
