Writing Task 1: Writing an Email

Read the following information.

On a recent holiday, you lost a valuable item. Fortunately, you have travel insurance to cover the cost of anything lost

Write a letter to the manager of your insurance company in about 150-200 words. Your email should do the following things:

  • Describe the item you lost.
  • How you lost it.
  • What you would like the insurance company to do for you.

Dear Manager, I am Tony, a premium member of your insurance company, member ID #1222876. I am writing to you to inform you regarding an expensive item I lost while travelling from Toronto to Edmonton. It is a ring which I have bought from Tanishq Jeweller on my trip to India. It is a precious one because my spouse gifted it on our first wedding anniversary. To be precise, it is a platinum ring with a 50-carat solitaire engraved on top of it. It might worth around $3000. On 15th June, I was travelling to Edmonton to meet my sister. I was having a coffee at the cafe at the Toronto airport, and when I boarded the plane, I noticed that the ring was missing. I combed it in my bag and near my seat, but to my utter disappointment, I could not find it. I am sure that I must have lost it at the airport. Anyways, I am holding a premium membership which covers full coverage of anything I lost. Thus, I would request you to please initiate the claim process. In case you would like to know any further details, please do not hesitate to contact me on (111)111 1111. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. Yours faithfully, Tony
