In your letter: Explain why you’re writing Describe the damage to your car and express your feelings about it Recommend what steps he/she should take to resolve the situation

Dear Mr Smith, I am writing to express my frustration about your parking yesterday that resulted in multiple scratches on my car. As I see on video footage from my doorbell camera, your vehicle was not able to fit well between cars in the first attempts and it caused damage to my Honda. I suggest meeting in the following days for discussing the possible ways to resolve
this
issue. The major problem after the incident is three wide scratches on the front bumper on the left side. They were quite noticeable, which is a significant problem for me as a sales representative. It was very uncomfortable to receive judgemental looks from my clients today during meetings. It would be great if you would agree to pay repair costs. I have already visited a mechanic, and he charged six hundred dollars for urgent services. You can find a photo of the receipt in the attached files to
this
email. In case you disagree with that, I am open to other solutions. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Taylor Woods
