GENERAL WRITING TASK 1
You have borrowed something from your friend for a party, but it was damaged during the party. Write a letter to your friend and say
– What was it
– How was it damaged
– What will you do about it
SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear Subroto,
I hope this letter finds you in radiant health and the best of spirits. Thank you so much for lending me your beautiful silk stole for my sister’s wedding party. It was so kind of you. The stole complemented my dress so well that I got a lot of compliments that day.
Unfortunately, I ruined your stole by mistake. It so happened that we were all dancing on the dance floor and suddenly the tassels on the stole got stuck in my shoe heel and I heard a loud ripping noise. My heart skipped a beat when I saw the stole completely torn from the middle. I tried to get it darned but the tear is still showing.
Please forgive me for this. I would be happy to buy you a new stole. Please let me know where you bought it from, so that I can buy a similar one from there. I hope the new one will be as good as the old one.
I am looking forward to hearing for you soon.
With love,
