Formal letter

You are a student at University of Sydney. Your ID card has been stolen. Write to the
Local Police Station, giving details of who you are, what happened and asking what
you should do to get a new ID card.
You should write at least 150 words. You do not need to write any addresses

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to report the theft of my ID card. I am currently studying chemical


engineering at University of Sydney, and I came to Australia in August 2012. My
course here ends in September next year. I lost my ID card at Milsons Point Station
on 21 April. I was about to catch the 9.30 morning train to Town Hall Station, and I
was having a cup of coffee at the snack bar in the train station while I waited. The
ID card was in the side pocket of my day-pack, which I carried on my shoulder. This
must have been snatched while I was drinking the coffee, although I did not notice it
had gone until I left the snack bar at 9.20.

My ID number is … and I would be grateful if you could inform me of what I must do


to obtain another ID card I have some copies of my lost ID card; do I need to
provide them? Please let me know of the procedures and the cost of a new ID card.
Yours faithfully
Judith White
