You lost your colleague Anna’s important document. Write a letter to Anna ⇨ apologize for losing the document, ⇨ explain how it happened, ⇨ offer to help to recreate it.

Dear Anna,

I am writing to offer my sincere apologies for misplacing the important document you entrusted to me last week. I fully understand how significant it was for your project, and I deeply regret the inconvenience my carelessness has caused you.

The loss happened while I was commuting home. I had placed the document folder in my bag, but unfortunately, it seems to have slipped out when I was rearranging my belongings on the train. I retraced my steps immediately and even contacted the transport office to check if it had been handed in, but sadly, there has been no sign of it.

I realize how valuable the document was, and I am determined to help you in any way possible. If you have a draft or electronic version, I would be more than willing to dedicate extra hours to retyping and formatting it. Alternatively, I can assist by gathering the required data again to rebuild the content.

Once again, please accept my heartfelt apologies. I will do everything I can to make up for this mistake.

Best regards,
[Your Name]
