Dear mam,
I’m Prince Kumar Bhagat and I come often to your bookstore to purchase books. Last Sunday I went to your store and purchased Paulo Coelho’s ‘The Alchemist’ book. I did the online payment also. Then came across my teacher at the store and in that conversation I got out of the store without taking book with me.
I can send you the online transaction via WhatsApp for confirmation. I request you to keep aside the book for me so that I can come early and take my book.
Thanking you
Yours faithfully
Prince Kumar Bhagat
Kolkatta.
