1. Make a Fax or registered post to the airlines. Like a proof that you reported the damaged to airlines and you should have proof that they received it.
2. here is the format of the same.

Thank you for the reply, but I'm afraid is too late

I've just sent a letter to Lufthansa customer care(in UK) actually for whole Europe they have just 1 address in Liverpool UK
1. The problem is that my letter doesn't look anything like the sample one provided on that website.
2. I sent it by ordinary mail, and made a similar complaint on their website and received the automatic reply (could this be used as a proof?)
3. In the letter I have written I made a claim of roughly estimate of 800-900€ total loss, as I don't hold any receipts.
in this situation do you think it will be better to write a new letter one and
write in the actual (current) prices of the items. if I do it and this time claim the max 1000SDR could they
4. can i claim moral damages as well? I mean in that suitcase were my lectures notes for my exams next week. As everything spilled on them they are unreadable and most likely I'll have to face a failure. And in the post-grad school (I'm in my masters) where I'm currently in they don't allow any repeat exams.
Sorry for the childish questions, but I'm not a lawyer and all this is the first time that I'm experiencing such a thing.
thank you in advance
