Sample answer
DEAR JOHN,
=====
I HOPE YOU ARE DOING WELL. MY NAME IS ABDUL, AND I AM A FINAL-YEAR STUDENT FROM THE MECHANICAL DEPARTMENT. THIS LETTER IS TO KEEP YOU INFORMED ABOUT THE BOOKS I HAVE BORROWED FROM THE LIBRARY LAST WEEK. UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE TO ATTEND ONE OF MY CLOSE AUNTS AT THE HOSPITAL, AS SHE IS IN A CRITICAL STAGE. I GOT THE INFORMATION JUST LAST NIGHT, AND DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO RETURN THE BOOKS. I AM AFRAID THAT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ATTEND THE SCHOOL FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS. HOWEVER, I HAVE REQUESTED ONE OF MY CLASSMATES TO GRAB THE BOOKS FROM MY HOME AND SUBMIT THEM TO THE RECEPTION. THEREFORE, I KINDLY REQUEST YOU TO ACCEPT THE BOOKS ON MY BEHALF WITHOUT ANY PENALTY, OR CHARGES. I ASSURE YOU THAT I WOULD NOT REPEAT THIS AGAIN. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED FURTHER DETAILS.
=====
THANKING YOU, YOURS SINCERELY, ABDUL
