Dear Ms. Roberts,
I am writing to let you know that I ran over your dog on Friday afternoon.
The accident happened at the crossing of Ocean Drive and Bridge Street, directly in front of the RSL Club.
On that Friday, one of my students had suddenly fallen ill. I telephoned her doctor and described the situation, and he suggested that she should be brought to the hospital right away. He believed that the student's leg had been broken and explained to me the seriousness of the situation. I had to get her to the hospital quickly.
During the trip I passed by your house. Suddenly your dog ran out into the road and into the front of my car. I stopped the car and ran around looking for the dog but it had run away. I knocked on your door but I could see that no one was home. I could not see where the dog had gone, and with my student so ill I had no choice but to leave the scene（现场）and drive on.
You must allow me to pay for his medical care. I would be thankful if you could make a list of all costs resulting from this accident. I plan to visit and offer my apologies（歉意）in person.
Again, I truly regret the harm caused by this accident and send my best wishes to little Snowy.
Yours,
Anthony Drake
