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：车祸事故伤情慰问

亲爱的奥利维亚：

听说你昨天晚上出车祸的消息，这让我感到很遗憾。他们告诉我说，你的新车被撞毁了，你本人被路上的行人及时送到了当地的医院。幸运的是，你没有受到重伤。

我还听说，警方正在通缉交通事故的肇事逃逸司机。住院治疗几周后，你很快就可以回到公司了。下次开车时你一定要多加注意。我也希望路上的每一位司机都能小心驾驶。毕竟，任何一条生命的陨落，都会给家人带来心痛和忧伤。

请一定要好好休息。我们大家都盼望着你早日回来。如果你需要任何帮助，请一定要告诉我。我很愿意帮助你。

忠诚的

艾玛
