Write an overseas telegram not exceeding twenty words in. length (exduding names and addresses) to your employer, who is abroad on holiday, informing him of the following circumstances.

You are the first to arrive at your office one morning, to find the caretaker waiting for you. He is in a state of great agitation. He tells you that he saw a man in a raincoat, with no hat or gloves, and carrying a briefcase, running down the stairs of your building. The caretaker thought the circumstances suspicious, and he had tried the doors of several offices, to find that yours had been forced. When he entered the room he found papers thrown all over the floor, a vase of flowers broken, ink on the carpet, desk drawers open and the safe door open ..

You go with the caretaker and see that the safe is empty. You know that when you left last night it contained £1 SO in cash and £50 worth of stamps. You ask him if he has telephoned the police, find that he has not done so, and do so yourself. The police arrive, examine the room and take statements from other members of the staff.
