Re: Return of goods from [address of rental premises]
As you are aware, I vacated the above premises on [date of vacant possession]. At that time a number of my possessions were left in the premises.
I am writing to request that you deliver up the goods to me, by allowing me to attend the premises and remove these goods.
I understand that expenses may be charged for the storing of those goods.
I am available on [dates] between [times] to attend the premises.
Please contact me by [date] to discuss:

- reasonable expenses and method of payment.
My contact details are:

If the goods are no longer in the premises, please advise the address where the goods are being held, by the same date.
Yours sincerely
