As the chief leader of the animal protecting team, we strongly oppose your behaviour of receiving living monkeys cargo from Guangzhou (CAN), China by the airline called RJ.
According to our information, this airline has been sending lots of monkeys for a long period from CAN to JFK. We hope you can do some investigation and protect those lovely animals.

Dear sirs,

I've been travelling for almost a month in Europe without my luggage.
What happened was that i took a plane in GIG on september 2nd and arrived at JFK on 3rd with an AA plane.
I took my luggage and just put on the transfer line together with my boyfriend's luggage, as they told us to do it.
At night we got a plane to London with a BA plane, when we arrived there, he got his luggage and i haven't got mine.
The company has no news about my luggage since it gots to JFK.
How it just desapeared? It is a hard, 4 wheels and VERY COLOURFULL luggage.
It cannot simply disappear with nobody knows nothing about it for almost a month!!!
I'm pretty sure it is in the airport. It is possible to check the cameras? All my clothes were there, there was a blue bag with book to give as a gift inside, as small brown necessaire with medicines, some supermarket bags with shoes inside and, of course, luggages.
If nobody knows it, i suspect it was stolen! Because it is not possible, i need my things!!

I look forward to get a reply. I'm really sad about it, because a passenger luggage is a airplane resposability but also an airport responsability too.
This facr made me pass through some horrible and shamed situations.

Thank you.
Regards,
