Dear John Hello, hope you are doing well. Writing
this
 piece of paper to apologise for not returning the
book
 ‘Advanced Learning in C++’ that I borrowed from you during the
last
 term.
Last
 night, I found that
book
 in my cupboard while I was making it and realized that I forgot to return it ,
although
, I promised to return it within a few days earlier. I am grateful to you for lending me
this
book
 just prior to the final term as it was a great help, but, I deeply regret not returning it on time. I am not quite sure whether
this
book
 is still indispensable to you or not. As far as I am concerned, you were planning to do masters in Computer Science and Application from one of the reputed universities in your country. So, please let me know if
this
book
 is going to help you in cracking the entrance exam. Based on your response. I might courier it or send it through the post.
Besides
this
, as you are aware, Dino is visiting your hometown
next
 month so if you can wait, I will send the
book
 along with him. Wish you success and look forward to hearing from you soon. With Love Laura
