Dear Ravi,

I would like to express my sincerest condolences on your tragic road accident last week, which we heard about. Please know that you are in our thoughts and I pray that you recover soon. We are playing with the best hope to see you back soon on the field again.

The weekend final match against opponents resulted in a draw, even after 90 minutes of powerful play. The opponent goalkeeper had received a red card after several warnings on misbehaving, and on an act of bad sportsmanship during the match, which was disadvantageous to our team to overpower all the time.

The weather was great, but unfortunately sudden light rain had started during the second half of the game that took off an otherwise amazing game event. Our team had enjoyed football.

However, it was a deep saddened day for our team that you weren’t there as well, as I deeply felt unhappy also. However, we have tried to bring a trophy for our team and for you, which was not as we intended in the beginning. I apologize as a captain and say I shall take full responsibility of our drawn match. Get well soon from your injuries and we will win together our trophy with you.

Best wishes,

[Your Name]
