Dear Anna,

I hope you are having a great vacation. I am writing to say I am very sorry because I broke your vase while staying at your house.

It happened when I was cleaning the table. I moved it too quickly, and the vase fell and broke. I felt terrible right away.

I didn’t tell you earlier because I didn’t want to disturb your holiday. I thought it would be better to explain everything when you came back.

Please don’t worry – I will buy a new vase or give you money to replace it. I really want to make it right.

Again, I’m very sorry for what happened. I hope you can forgive me.

Best wishes,

Vlad
