Band 8+: You booked a room at a hotel for a weekend getaway, but during your stay, you accidentally broke a decorative item in the room. Write a letter to the hotel manager apologizing for the damage. You should include details about: - how the damage occurred - your willingness to compensate for the damage - what steps you will take to ensure similar incidents don't happen again.

Dear Sir,

I am writing to tell you about something that happened during my recent stay at your hotel. I stayed there from the 20th to the 23rd of October in room 205. Unfortunately, I accidentally broke a lamp in my room, and I feel very sorry about it.

The accident happened when I was packing my suitcase. I moved my bag from the table and my hand hit the lamp by mistake. It fell on the floor and broke. I did not mean to do it, and I understand it is my responsibility to pay for the damage.

Please let me know how I can make the payment. You can charge my credit card that I used for the booking, or tell me if I should send the money by another way.

Once again, I am very sorry for the trouble, and I hope you will accept my apology.

Yours faithfully,

[Arash Sikandary]
