Band 7 Letter, You have borrowed

Dear Sushant,

I hope this letter finds you in radiant health and good spirit. As you know, I have borrowed your spare car for 5 days as my own vehicle was under repair for the same time period. I am really sorry to inform you that your car got little scratches on its rear end.

On that fateful day, I planned to go shopping at my nearest convenience store. As usual, when I pulled the car out of my driveway, it hit a garbage bin that was situated in front of my driveway. When I inspected the car closely that evening, I noticed scratches at the back end which were not very deep.

I have already taken the car to a reputed mechanic. According to him, he will be able to fix the problem and make the car look as good as new. This process will take two days to finish.

I deeply apologize for this although it happened unwillingly.

I hope you will understand the situation and forgive me for this mistake.

Yours lovingly,

Tejinder
