Dear Nam How are you and the family going? I hope you enjoyed your holiday and we could drink coffee together after your return journey. I’m afraid that I’m writing this letter to make an apology to you You know that I said that I could look after your house last week when you had a trip with your family? I'm really sorry but I’ve just noticed that I forgot to fix your bike. I haven’t got a clue how it happened I feel terrible as I know your bike’s chain and petals were broken. I tried to fix it but, unfortunately, your house didn’t have full equipment. I probably should have remind to bring my bicycle toolbox to your house Of course, I’m going to either bring my box to fix your bike only. The problem is that I don’t know if I have enough tools to do it. How about going to the bike store to buy the missing items? Of course, I’m going to fix it for you if I have all necessary tools I hope you understand Nam. Sorry again. I really hope you aren’t too upset See you soon Manh
