Dear Ramesh,

How are you? I feel sad to inform you that my house was burgled last week when I was on a holiday. Burglars ______ have known from the accumulated newspaper pile that I had gone away. When I came back last Sunday, I found the back-door lock broken. I ______ have forgotten to bolt the back-door from inside and they _______ have entered through it. My room was ransacked. They took my laptop and other valuables. I ______ have deposited the jewellery in a bank locker to avoid this loss. I _______ have informed my neighbours about my week-long trip. Well, I have registered an FIR with the police. They are investigating the case. They have assured that I _____ get my jewels back. The burglars ______ be caught very soon. Convey my regards to all at home.

Yours lovingly,
Aadhav
