Dear Sir

I apologize for the sudden damage to the book I received from your library on February 22nd.

When I received the book, it was in good condition. Unfortunately, it was ruined by water. I tried to restore it, but it didn’t work. The good news is that I was reading the book with great interest. The stories in it are interesting. But unfortunately, I damaged the book.

I hope that as you know, this was not planned, so you will understand me. I am ready to compensate for the damage or pay for a new one. Whichever is more convenient for you, it will be better.

I look forward to hearing from you

Best regards

Munisa
