You borrowed an important textbook from a classmate the last term. You now realize your classmate has returned home overseas and you still have the book.
Write a letter to him/her. In your letter
- apologize for the mistake
- find out how important the book is to him/her
- say what you will do
Answer,
Dear Tony,
Hope you & your family are doing great. I didn't not classes for a few days to a serious viral fever. Once I came back to join a class, I heard that you have moved to Italy. I hope you had a pleasant journey.
On that day, I realized that I borrowed the 'Introduction to Data Structure' book from you and forgot to return it. I apologize for not returning your book as promised.
I guess, this book is essential to you for your further studies as you have told me once that you are joining an advanced computer course in your country. Could you let me know if you really require this book for your next course? If so. how quickly do you need it?. I'm ready to bear the courier cost. I can post via express service. Alternatively, I can send you some money instead so that you can buy it. Please let me know what to do.
Waiting for your reply. Take Care.
Warm regards,
Steve
