While your friend was away on vacation, you stayed in his apartment. While you were there, you dropped an expensive bowl and broke it. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter - explain what happened, - apologise for the accident, - tell your friend what you plan to do about the bowl.

Dear Mark, Greetings of the day! I hope

this

letter finds you well and in good health. The reason for writing

this

letter is to let you know that while you were on vacation when I stayed in your apartment, I accidentally dropped the pot which you had kept on the table

next

to the television. I had kept my car keys and because I had to attend to an urgent appointment I hastily took the car keys from the

bowl

. Unexpectedly and to my disbelief the

bowl

slipped from my hand and shattered to pieces. I humbly apologize for being flippant and I realize

this

bowl

was expensive. After the

bowl

was broken, I cleaned the living area and collected the glass pieces and disposed of them safely. To make up for my careless misdemeanour, I wish to replace the above-mentioned

bowl

while going shopping

next

time. Please accept my apologies and I will gift porcelain chinaware as a gift, the

next

time when I would visit you. I hope you would realise my mistake and forgive me for having broken your expensive

bowl

. Yours sincerely, John
