Email to my insurance agent Dear insurance agent,

I am writing to you because my car has been badly vandalized last night. We went to the beach and I left the car in front of the main hotel entrance. It was 3 a.m when the phone of the hotel room rang and they told me what had happened.

The main damages I have observed in my car are:

- The two side mirrors are broken, they were on the floor when I saw the car.

- I have several spray painting in the bodywork of my car.

- Two wheel have been punctured.

- There are several scratches on the bonnet.

As you know I have full auto coverage and I would like you to let me know where I can go to fix my car. As far as I know I am entitled to have fixed my car without any costs.

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Best regards,

Francisco José Muñoz

Hello Francisco José

A good effort, well done! You just need to be a little careful of your verb tenses in English: unlike Spanish, we don't use the Pretérito Perfecto (present perfect) in quite the same way in English (to describe that something happened recently). We would use the past simple tense in most cases to describe something that happened (but it doesn't matter when that action happened.)

Kind regards
