Answer 1
Dear Mrs Brown,...

I'm writing this letter to thank you for lending me the book for the preparation for my first year of learning...

Apparently, this book contains all the information that I wanted to know before my first year of university...

I know that I should have returned this book last month. However, I needed it to prepare for my interview since the shortlisted candidates must pass an interview for this job...

Thanks to you for the book one more time...

Your's Sincerely,...

Benjamin Walker...
