Hello, this is Nancy Polanski. I'm calling from the airport. One of your taxis dropped me off at the international departure terminal 20 minutes ago. I think my passport got left behind in the taxi. I noticed it was missing when I checked in with the airline. I can't find it in my purse or my carry-on bag. I've retraced my route since arriving, and I cannot locate it. My passport must still be in the taxi. I don't remember the driver's name. Part of his license number is 3562. Can you please find the driver and ask him to look for it? I can't miss my flight. It's leaving in an hour. I'll pay for it to be delivered to me. Please call me as soon as possible. My number is 555-8890. Thank-you.
