Dear Alex
I hope you are doing well. I am writing this letter to offer my sincerest apologies for an unfortunate accident that occurred while I was house-sitting. I regret to inform you that I accidentally damaged your
favorite
plant
. While I was carefully tending to your home, I was dusting near the window when I inadvertently bumped into the small table holding your beloved plant
. In a moment of clumsiness, I lost my balance, and the table toppled over, causing the plant
to fall and suffer severe damage.I know how much this
plant
means to you
and I feel awful for the distress and inconvenience my carelessness has caused. Your plant
was not only a cherished part of your home, but it also held sentimental value, and I am deeply sorry for
my mistake.To make things right, I am fully prepared to replace the damaged
plant
with one that is just as beautiful and meaningful. I will cover all expenses and ensure that the new plant
is delivered promptly to you. I value our friendship and hope that you can forgive me for this regrettable accident.Thank you for your understanding and patience.
Sincerely,
