Subject: Reporting a missing person.
Sir,
I have to lodge a report that my brother, Ravi, has been missing from home since morning. He left for his school at 7am. His school closes at 1 pm. So, he returns home at 1:30 pm at the latest. But to our surprise he did not come back home today till evening.
He is a young boy of fifteen studying in IX class in Govt. Boys Sr. Sec. School, Rajouri Garden. He is of medium height. He is dressed in school uniform i.e., a white shirt , white pants and black shoes. His hair is curly. Please order the MIssing Persons’ Squad to make all the efforts to search him. Please inform us if you find a clue about him.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully
