SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear…………..,
I am writing to report the theft of my passport. I am currently studying economics at Leeds University, and
I came to Britain in September last year. My course here ends in September next year.
I lost my passport at Leeds bus station on 9 October. I was about to catch the 10.30 morning bus to London, and I was having a cup of coffee at the snack bar in the bus station while I waited. The passport was in my overnight bag, 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 10:20.
I have reported the theft to the police. Their reference number for the case is CX241, at Leeds Central Police Station. My passport number is A123456, date of issue 28/2/2002 and the date of expiry is 27/2/2012.
I would be grateful if you could inform me what I have to do to obtain another passport. Do I need to provide photographs and, if so, how many? Please let me know the cost of a new passport and the currency in which I should pay for it.
Yours faithfully.
John Smith
