MODEL ANSWER:
Dear Fiona,
Hope you are having great fun at home. It was when Daniel called me I came to know that you returned home.
Yesterday, while rearranging my bookshelf, my eyes stuck on a textbook that I had borrowed from you last term to refer to for my class assignment: the one named ‘Financial Management’. All these days I thought I had returned it to you. Fio, I am really sorry for the carelessness.
As your project is still on the way, I think the book is really important to you. I will send it via express mail if you need it urgently; or else I can send it by ordinary courier. You can track it using the tracking ID which I will send you.
Convey my regards to your siblings, Elba and Irene. Regards to your parents too in France.
Sorry for the trouble.
Lots of love,
Betty.
