Subject-Apology for breaking the windowpane of the auditorium

Respected Sir,
I, Naveen Sharma of class 8-C apologize for breaking the windowpane of the auditorium. I can assure you it was not done intentionally, as all the members of the Robotics Club were practicing with their newly designed robots and instruments. By mistake, one of my robots hit the window which caused the glass window to shatter.
Our teacher made sure nobody was injured or hurt by the incident, the glass was cleaned right away and everyone was taken to their classes. Sir, I am willing to pay the fine for the damage caused by me.
Requesting your humble apology for my mistake.
Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,
Naveen Sharma
(Student of 8-C)

Note:
The subject of your letter should not exceed more than one line. Also, keep in mind that formal letters are written to official and authoritative figures. Hence, use appropriate formal language and salutations.
