Subject: Sympathies on Your Injury in the Car Accident

Dear Olivia,

I was very sorry to hear about the news that you had a car accident yesterday evening. I was told that your new car was broken heavily and you were sent to the local hospital by the pedestrians in time. It was so lucky that you were not badly injured.

I also heard that the runaway of the car accident is wanted by the police. After a couple of weeks' hospitalization, you can be back to the company soon. Please be sure to be much more careful when you drive next time. I also hope that every driver on road should be more careful in driving. After all, any loss of life will bring heartache and depression to the family.

Please do have a good rest. We are all looking forward to your coming back. If you need any help, please do feel free to let me know. I am always willing to offer help.

Yours faithfully,

Emma

主旨：車禍事故傷情慰問

親愛的奧利維亞：

聽說你昨天晚上出車禍的消息，這讓我感到很遺憾。他們告訴我說，你的新車被撞毀了，你本人被路上的行人及時送到了當地的醫院。幸運的是，你沒有受到重傷。

我還聽說，警方正在通緝交通事故的肇事逃逸司機。住院治療幾周后，你很快就可以回到公司了。下次開車時你一定要多加注意。我也希望路上的每一位司機都能小心駕駛。畢竟，任何一條生命的隕落，都會給家人帶來心痛和憂傷。

請一定要好好休息。我們大家都盼望著你早日回來。如果你需要任何幫助，請一定要告訴我。我很愿意幫助你。

忠誠的

艾瑪
