Application for lost New Zealand Passport

To,
The Embassy,
New Zealand.

Respected appointed officer,
It is stated that I am a national of New Zealand, and came to Africa on vacations with my wife. We planned on going back this week but upon my surprise I found out that I had lost my original passport along with my New Zealand return stamp visas.
I am now stuck in a different country for I don’t know how long for. I request the authority to kindly review my application as fast as possible, and issue me a new passport. I hope that you will prioritize my situation, and start working on it soon.

Thanking you,
XYZ.

Lost New Zealand Passport in Spain

Dear New Zealand passport officer,

I am writing to you because I would like to apply for a new passport as I have lost my first one. During my trip back from Spain I got back home, and started to unpack when I noticed that my passport was missing. I have given copies to the airport, and everywhere that I went to even the taxi firm I used to get from the airport to my home.

You will find in the envelope all the supporting documents that you need for the application. I hope that you can help me get a new passport soon as I have planned a trip in the next month.

Yours sincerely,

Miss. Lola Beiber
