The Principal,
Govt. College,
A.B.C. (City)
Sir,
Respectfully I beg to state that I am a student of the first year in this college. Yesterday I came to college on my bicycle, placed it at the college cycle stand and locked it properly. But when I went back at the close of college hours, I found my bicycle missing. I reported the matter to the peon on duty. We searched it here and there, but all in vain. Somebody had taken it away, breaking open the lock. The key of this lock is still in my possession. Circumstances force me to bring the matter of theft to your notice. Kindly take a personal interest in this matter. I feel much difficulty in the absence of my bicycle. My father is not rich enough to provide me a new bicycle. I shall be thankful to you if I find my bicycle once again.

Yours obediently,
X.Y.Z.
