Dear Martin:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Re: Parking Garage Problem\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Please regard this as a letter of apology for the recent problems that I caused you by moving your belongings in the parking garage without your permission. \u2028\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Believe me, I had no intention of causing you any issues. Over the long weekend, I decided to rearrange my space in the garage and install some new shelving on the front wall opposite my parking space. While I was at it, I thought I would also tidy up the entire garage. It was during that process that I noticed that your boxes of books were stored, what I thought was, dangerously close to the electric heating element. So, I took the liberty of moving those boxes to the other side of the garage. It didn’t occur to me at the time that this would block the entry and exit on the passenger side of your vehicle. \u2028\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h6>\n

After you brought this to my attention Monday evening, I\u00a0 immediately moved your boxes back to where they were stored originally. As you suggested, by stacking them carefully I was able to place them so that there was sufficient safe clearance from the heating element. I trust you will find everything in order now. \u2028<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A thousand apologies for not checking with you first before moving your belongings. I can now see how it would have upset you to return after the holiday weekend and find your belongings moved for no apparent reason. All I can say is that it won’t happen again. \u2028\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sincerely,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                Hi Jeff,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                Thank you for taking out the time to explain everything. Although\u00a0 I was <\/span>7. <\/b>(okay about it\/upset at first\/indifferent to the situation\/ concerned about my missing items), I later realized you were just trying to help. After <\/span>8. <\/b>(the long weekend\/the long drive\/tiring drive home\/rainy weather), I just didn\u2019t want any surprises and\u00a0 Sarah was a little upset when she <\/span>9. <\/b>(couldn\u2019t get out of the car\/ lost her stuff\/had to search through the boxes\/was so close to the heating element). Also, when I came back <\/span>10. <\/b>(on Sunday\/the\u00a0 other day\/two weeks ago\/on Monday), I noticed the <\/span>11. <\/b>(stacked boxes\/books\/new shelves\/the other side of the garage). The new look is very good.<\/span><\/p>\n
