Dear Mrs. Susan,
I am Ha Le and renting your apartment number 12A at Phu My community. I am writing with regard to some damage in the kitchen.
Yesterday afternoon, I had experienced a small accident which made your cooker break up. While I was cleaning the floor, I was slipping over because the floor was wet. My legs hit the table nearby and made the cooker fall down.
The cooker’s cover came off and I could not attach it. The signal light in the cooker also did not work.
I apologize for my carelessness which leading to the damage. I know the cooker was your friend’s gift and you have always wanted to protect it. As I have just moved to this place recently, I do not have any contact of technicians, could you please call someone to my accommodation to fix it and I will cover all the fee of repairment. I will be staying at home at this weekend, so it would be great if the technician comes around this time.
Once again please accept my apology for the damage.
Hi, you followed the prompt well and I think your letter was effective in answering all the required points.
Still, you had a lot of incorrect verb tenses, which made your letter sound pretty unnatural. Please see my suggestions below:
I’d like to pose my re-writing. Please help me check.
Many thanks and best regards,

Dear Susan,
My name is Ha Le and I am renting your apartment number 12A at Phu My community. I am writing with regard to some damage occurred in the kitchen and need your support.
Yesterday afternoon, I experienced a small accident which broke your rice cooker. While I was cleaning the floor, I slipped down because the floor was wet. My legs hit the table nearby and knocked off the cooker.
The cooker’s cover came off and I could not reattach it. The signal light in the cooker also no longer works.
I apologize for my carelessness which led to the damage. I know this cooker was a gift from your friend and you have always cherished it. As I have just moved to this place recently, I do not have any contacts for technicians; could you please call someone to my accommodation to fix it and I will cover all the repair fees? I will be staying at home this Saturday morning, so it would be great if the technician comes around at that time.
Once again please accept my apology for the damage.
