Hello!


I will appreciate if you can correct this letter:


I would like to inform that i had to lost my watch in your tennis hall.
On Sunday 11th March I played tennis with some friends and left my watch on the bench near the tribune.
When I finished I went outside of the tennis hall and when I wanted to see what time is it I realised that I forgot my watch inside.
When I returned to the tennis hall, I looked on the place where I left it but it was missing.


It was a round faced Swiss watch with a gold and silver bracelet.
It had also the option to display the date and the indicators was made of phosphorus.


If the watch is being found, i can be contacted on 07154341244 from 8.00 am to 10.00 pm every day.


Thank you very much!

See above. Please review your use of tenses and remember to capitalise the word "I" (first person singular).
