小作文之五——寻找失物信

寻找失物信的目的是要收信人帮助寻找失物并将其返还失主。

写作策略：

首段：表明与收信人的相关性，说明写作意图。因为你要麻烦收信人，一般还可以在首段表示必要的歉意。

主体段落：说明失物的具体内容以及失物的重要性。

结尾段：说明如找到失物如何将其返还失主，并对收信人表达谢忱。

一般来说，这种信中的写信人与收信人是相互认识的，注意称呼语的使用。

范文：

Dear Mr. Simpson,

I stayed in your hotel on 23rd and 24th of October, in Room 603. When I arrived home, I discovered that I had left one of my bags at the hotel. Could you please check to see if my bag has been found?

The bag is a small black leather case. Inside the bag, you will find several business cards, a small address book, and three copies of a business proposal. These things are not very valuable in monetary terms, but they have a lot of personal value.

I would appreciate it if you could contact me as soon as possible, particularly since I need the proposal for a presentation. If you could send the bag to me by courier service, I would be most grateful. I will arrange to pay for the service.

Thank you for your help.

Yours sincerely,

Li Ming
