Dear Sehleen,

Hope you are in radiant health and the best of spirits. I am writing this letter to apologize for damaging your favourite book ‘The Merchant of Venice’ I borrowed last month from you.

This happened when my niece came to our house during her summer holidays. Actually, she was glancing through my collection of books and she, unintentionally, dropped your book while tearing some of the pages of the book. With guilt in her heart, she tried to glue the pages but, unfortunately, the tear is still be recognized.

I know how much this book matters to you, so I bought same book but new copy to send it to you as the one I have, is unrepairable. I am extremely sorry for the inconvenience it may have caused to you.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Best wishes,

Chandanpreet Kaur
