THIS letter is for a private taxi-driver, who drove me to the Swan Hotel, 25 Holmfield Road, Blackpool.

I got out my purse to pay you and unfortunately left my purse on your back seat.

I would be very grateful if you would return it to me at the Swan Hotel.

It contained £70 in cash and the key for my case. I am sure you know to whom it belonged but at the time of writing you have not returned it.

I have found out who you are and if not returned I shall go to the police.

L M Smith,

Blackpool
