Dear Detective Jones,I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to ask for your help with a very serious matter. Last night, valuable jewels were stolen from my mansion. It is a family treasure, and I need to find it as soon as possible. The jewels disappeared sometime between 8 PM and 10 PM. I have three people in my house who might know something about it: my maid Maria, my gardener Tom, and my sister Lillian. I don’t know who took them, but I am sure you can help solve the mystery. Please come to my mansion as soon as you can. I trust that with your skills, we will find the thief and recover the jewels. Thank you for your help. Sincerely,
Mr. Black
