Band 5+: You recently borrowed a valuable item from a neighbor, and it was accidentally damaged while in your care. Write an email to your neighbor. In your email, you should: - Apologize for what happened. - Explain how the damage occurred. - Suggest a way to compensate them for the damage.

Good morning Mr Carragher,

I am Richard, your neighbor, as you can remember you gave me one of your expensive objects; unfortunately I had a car accident last day and I had it in my car, as you can understand from the context of this message, the object is broken due to the strong impact with the other vehicle.

I am so sorry and I am feeling very guilty about the accident as a result of mistakes . I should have protected the valuable item in a suitable bag instead of just put the precious object close to me.

I am quickly searching an alternative to fill the gap left by the loss of this item; if I don’t find nothing similar please just give me a honest amount of money you would like to receive and I will send you.

Hope you can understand Mr Carragher.

Have a nice day.

Richard
