and tell them what you want to do about it.
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing this letter to explain why I have been unable to return the three
books I have
out on a three-day loan, which are now overdue.
After taking the books out on 16
th
March, I had an urgent call from my elderly
aunt’s neighbor to say that my aunt had had a fall and had been taken into
hospital. I am her only surviving
relative in this country, so I felt I had to go
and see her immediately. I traveled down to
Dallas the following morning,
thinking I would stay for only two or three days. Unfortunately my aunt’s
condition has only improved very slowly, so I have had to
stay here longer
than I expected. However, the hospital says that if all goes well, she should be
able to go home in two or three days’ time, in which case I will be
back at the
beginning of the next week.
Bearing in mind the circumstances, I trust you will kindly waive any fines that
may have accumulated.
I would like to apologize for the inconvenience that I have caused you. And I
trust that you understand.
Yours
sincerely,
Thomas Anderson
