'Dear Sir,
I have left this note on your car because I
accidentally scratched your car.
Early this morning, I was in my car preparing to
drive my children to school. Just as I was about to
turn
___1___ of the
parking lot, my daughter, who was seating next to
me, screamed. Apparently, ___2___
cockroach had crawled onto her lap and she jumped
from her seat. The scream shocked me and I
accidentally jerked the steering wheel ___3___
a result. This caused my car to bump into yours.
That was how I ended ___4___
scratching your car.
I deeply apologize for the accident and I ___5___
willing to compensate you for your damages. Please
contact me ___6___
5556689. Thank you.
Yours,
Whelan
That was the note that my father had to write to
the car owner because of me. I hate creepy crawlies
and ___7___
I saw the cockroach on my lap, I instinctively
screamed my lungs out and jumped out of my seat. I
never meant to shock my father ___8___
cause the accident. He does not blame me ___9___
it but nevertheless, I am racked with guilt.
Yesterday, the owner of the car finally contacted
my father. He was very appreciative of ___10___
fact that my father had been so honest as to leave
the note. Not many people would have done that. The
owner said that he had already sent his car to the
mechanic and thankfully, it was just a minor paint
job. the damages only came up to $300. They made
arrangements to meet to settle payment and the
matter was settled. |
