Dear Martin:

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. I feel somewhat responsible for these actions since I took it upon myself to do some summer cleaning in preparation for the winter season ahead, and I know that I had quite the mess in there.

Believe me, I had no intention of causing you any problems. 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.

After you brought this to my attention Monday evening, I 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. Also, did you notice how I added that shelf, I think this will give us some extra room to organize our tools and other house stuff, as you can see I’ve only used the right side of the shelf, so feel free to use the other side for any of your things.

I'm really sorry that I didn't check 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. One more thing, I’ll be going away to Vancouver during the next long weekend, do you think you’ll be able to take care of a few things while I’m gone? I’m thinking just the cats since I’m not going to bring them along, and also I’m expecting a package to be delivered during that time, so it would be great if you can take it for me. Let me know!

Sincerely,
Jeff Gibson
