Band 8 IELTS letter sample

Dear Sir or Madam:

My name is XYZ, and I hired a Toyota Etios car (RegNo: KL7 A210) from M/s. Steven Taxis (Cochin branch) on the 5th of April, 2018. I am very sorry to inform you that my car met with a small accident on 14 April at 12:30 P.M while I was on a journey from Cochi to Calicut. A mini bus overtook my vehicle from the left side and hit the mirror damaging it completely.

I informed the police immediately, and they arrived on the spot for enquiry. A case of rash driving was filed against the bus driver. Fortunately for me, their insurance company guaranteed a full payment for the repair as the driver was charged with the entire responsibility.

Henceforth, please be informed that I will take care of the repairs and claim the cost later from the insurance company. If you need any further information, please call me on my number:

Thank you for your understanding.

Yours sincerely,

XYZ
