Dear General Manager of Radisson Hotel,
Hello! I am CHEN, the tour guide for the tour group whose black backpack was stolen while having breakfast at your hotel's breakfast restaurant at 7:10 am. on June 14. Thank you very much for providing me with 4 nights of free accommodation. Thank you.
Inside the backpack were my passport, wallet, bank cards, approximately 20,000 USD, 3,000 CAD, and some Chinese RMB. To this day, none of these items have been recovered.
I lost my backpack within your hotel’s breakfast dining room, which is equipped with CCTV cameras. When I first requested to view the surveillance footage, your staff refused my request. They later claimed that the cameras were broken. The surveillance cameras outside the dining room did not capture anyone taking my backpack away. The dining room only has one public entrance and exit, so how was my backpack taken out? It is highly likely through the kitchen, as the kitchen has an exit leading to the garbage room that opens to the outdoors. Only your hotel staff would know that the CCTV cameras inside the dining room were non-functional.
I have no evidence that your staff must have taken my backpack, but the Indian waiter at your breakfast restaurant is very suspicious. Because he could frequently enter and exit the kitchen, he had the chance to take my backpack from the chair into the kitchen when I went to get food, then take it out through another kitchen exit.
When I found my backpack missing, I immediately asked to check the surveillance footage. Your employees first said the manager wasn't working and couldn't check it, then they said the surveillance was broken. The Indian employee at your restaurant kept asking me how much money was inside and whether my phone could check the location of my backpack. This behavior is very suspicious. And after my other guests left in the tour bus, the Indian waiter said he saw the other guests taking my backpack away, which is impossible. Because about an hour after my backpack was lost, my guest hadn't even left the hotel, and my credit card had already started being stolen—something only a thief could do.
I don't know why, but the hotel's surveillance is actually broken; I don't know the reason either, but the hotel refused to cooperate and let me check all the surveillance footage; For some unknown reason, the Indian employee working in the breakfast restaurant hadn't come to work these past few days.
Nevertheless, my backpack was lost inside your hotel’s dining area, which means your hotel bears corresponding liability. I kindly request that your hotel fully cooperate with the police investigation. For the sake of your hotel’s reputation and our partnership between our companies, I urge you to conduct a thorough review of your employees, as it is possible that one of your staff members is the thief.
Everything stated above is factual. Thank you for taking the time to read my statement.
Sincerely,
CHEN
