You should spend around 20 minutes on this task.
You borrowed some books from your school or college library. Unfortunately you have
to go away to visit a sick relative and cannot return the books in time. Write a letter to the
library. Explain what has happened and tell them what you want to do about it.
You should write at least 150 words.

MODEL ANSWER:

Dear Sir,

I am writing this letter to seek apology for the expected delay in the return of books which you issued me as per my request.

I am a second year post graduate student in the Department of Paedodontics and my enrolment number is PD 2435. Last Friday I borrowed three pediatric books from our department library and the due date of returning those is by the end of this week. The books helped me a lot in my project preparation and I was keen to return it well ahead of the deadline. Unfortunately, I am out of station as I came to my hometown to visit my mother who underwent a cardiac surgery.I am left with no option but to return the books by next Monday. I understand that you have only limited copies of that edition and I assure no further delay.

Thank you for your co-operation in this matter.

Yours faithfully,

Maria
