Your planned email is GREAT. You are right: do not cancel plans with your friend to have a router meeting with H!
I am SO sorry to hear about your folder. I am praying that it is returned to you soon! If it's any consolation, when I first got my first cellphone, I lost it the first week I had it... It slipped out of a pocket on the boston subway. MIRACLE OF MIRACLES, I kept calling the Boston Public Transportation Lost & Found and it was turned in within a few days. So ... it does happen. It could happen to you!
