Write a letter to a friend. You have borrowed something from your friend and it got damaged. 1. Apologize for damaging the product 2. Explain what happened 3. Say how are you going to fix the issue
Dear Lucas,
I hope you’re doing great. I’d like to thank you for borrowing me your
camera
and it did help me a lot during my trip to Japan. But I’ve got to tell you that I accidentally broke the lens. I feel terribly sorry for that and I hope you can forgive me.
What actually happened was that I was taking photos on the street and it was a little bit crowded and then
someone pushed me from the back. I failed to hold the camera
and it fell on the ground. While
the camera
still works, there are several cracks in the lens.
I’ve brought the camera
to the local electronic devices shop and I was told that the damage could be e repaired, so I bought an identical lens instead
and it should be as good as new when you receive it.
I know that this
camera
is of great importance to you. Again I’m so sorry for the damage and I hope you can forgive my carelessness.
Best regards,
Changyue

Your writing tone is generally suitable for a letter to a friend.

Phrases like 'I understand how disappointing this must be for you' could deepen the emotional tone.
