Write a letter to your friend. In your letter
• explain what happened
• apologize for the accident
• tell your friend how you plan to make it up to him
SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear GY,
Thank you very much for letting me uses your apartment while you were away. I tried to leave everything just as I found it. You will, unfortunately, find one thing missing. I wanted to do you a favor by cleaning the living room. While I was dusting that beautiful bowl you keep on the coffee table, it fell out of my hands and broke.
I am terribly sorry about breaking your bowl. I know that it was a present from your grandmother and that it means a lot to you. Things like that are irreplaceable. I think, however, that the bowl can be fixed. It broke into just three large pieces. I have a friend who is an expert on valuable china, and I have given her the bowl to repair. You should have it back in a few days, and I think it will look as good as new.
I hope this solution is satisfactory to you. Again, I am so very sorry this happened.
I will bring you the bowl soon.
Your friend,
