Dear Jean,
I am terribly sorry for not returning the book you lent me last year until now because I’ve been in use of it all the time. I had tried to find another book of the kind in order to return yours in an early time, but failed. I found it so helpful to my paper writing that I think I couldn’t have accomplished my task without it. It must have caused you some inconvenience in your study. Please accept my apologies.
Yours,
Linda
