(优秀范文)

Dear James,

I am writing this letter to say sorry to you for my fault that got you injured. It was more than I could expect the knock on you would have your leg broken when I tried to pass you on the basketball court. Although it happened accidentally, I do feel very terrible for this and blame myself. Anyway, it’s my roughness that

brought you so much hurt and trouble! How I wish I hadn’t rushed so quickly or knocked you down! I sincerely hope you will get better as soon as possible. If you forgive me and don’t mind enjoying playing basketball with me after your recovery,I will be happy.

Please allow me to express my regret once again.

Yours,

Li Hua
