Band 6+: You borrowed some books from your school or college library. Unfortunately, you have to go away to visit a sick relative and cannot return the books in time. Write a letter to the library. Explain what has happened and tell them what you want to do about it.

Dear Mrs. Zuhra,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my sincerest apologies for losing the borrowed book on agreed time. I understand the inconvenience this may have caused and deeply regret any difficult it might have created.

The loss occured due to an unexpected situation. I accidentally left the book in a taxi on my way home.

Unfortunately I did not know the driver’s details or the car number, making it difficult retrieve the book. I feel really bad about losing the library book.

Could you please tell me what the possible way to resolve this issue? Should I replace the book with a new copy or there is a fine I need to pay, please let me know, and I will address it promptly.

I assure you that I will be more carefully in the future to prevent such incident.

Thank you for undestanding and patience.

Yours sincerely,

Sayyor Mergen
