My name is Brian James and I live in apartment xxxx.

I'm writing because I believe you backed into my car on Thursday, October 23rd.

The damage is fairly minor, just a few scratches and scuffs, but significant enough that I need to repair it.

While standing on the couch, adjusting his ceiling fan, my neighbor heard a smacking sound. When he looked out the window, he witnessed your car drive away from the accident. This was at 10:45pm. My neighbor alerted me shortly after and I took pictures of the damage.

Later that night (about three in the morning on the 24th), my neighbor saw the same car drive through the lot and park on the end of the strip. When he went out to inspect the damage to your vehicle, they found a police detective patroling our parking lot. They told the detective what had happened and the detective inspected the damage on both cars. He noticed some damage on your car was fresh and your paint rubbed off on my bumper, where it remains, today. Upon inspection of the damage, the detective decided he needed to speak with you. While questioning you, that morning, you told him you'd left the house at about 10:45pm. This was the same time as the accident. On the evening of the 24th, I took pictures of the damage to your vehicle.

The detective wrote down some information for me, including your name and phone number.

I have been told to simply file a police report and allow my insurance company to handle the claim, but I would like to give you the opportunity to take care of this without dealing with the court. The detective told me the punishment for leaving the scene of an accident is a $700 and points off the driver's license, which seems like a lot considering the damage is not very significant.

Would you be able to meet me in the parking lot, where we can discuss what happened? I need to know rather or not you will cover the repair for the damage done to my vehicle.

My phone number is 913-xxx-xxxx.

Please contact me on tonight (Wednesday), Thursday or Friday. If I have not spoken with you by Friday afternoon, I will call you at 913-xxx-xxxx. If I have not spoken with you by Saturday morning, I will need to file the police report.

Thank you.
