Hi!

I just wanted to thank you for the amazing party. I had a really great time participating in all those activities, and your friends were just as sweet and funny as you described them to be.

But despite it all, I still have bad news. Unfortunately, I spilled the drink on your carpet. I’m not entirely sure how this happened. I only remember how we all were chatting while sitting on the couch, and I gestured too hard because I was genuinely so excited to tell the story to others. The next thing I see is my drink spilled all over your new carpet.

I am so sorry about the accident. I feel like I just messed up the whole party. I remember how you told me about being excited to buy this retro-style carpet that matches your interior so well, and I hope you understand that I would never do it on purpose.

Fortunately, after scrolling through the whole vintage furniture online shop, I finally found the exact same carpet, and I promise you that next weekend it will be delivered at your place.

Again, so sorry for the accident. See you next weekend.

Best regards,

Your friend
