Francine Smith is a model by profession with Pure Beauty Modelling Agency. She was involved in a  motor vehicle collision with Sihle Dube, a franchise owner in Johannesburg. The collision took place  on 2 April 2021 at the intersection of North and South Streets in an urban area. Francine entered  the intersection on South Street at 15 km per hour and Sihle approached the intersection on North  Street at 75 km per hour. The intersection is monitored by traffic cameras. Both streets are in good  condition. All traffic lights, street demarcations and road signs are clearly visible. Francine is insistent that Sihle was the sole cause of the accident because he (Sihle) drove through a red traffic light and collided into her vehicle. She alleged that had he 'not been speeding like The Flash, then perhaps he would have actually seen the poster attached on the traffic light on his side of the road  that says that red means STOP'. Sihle alleges that the traffic light was amber, not red.He further alleged that Francine was the sole cause of the accident because she failed to enter the intersection with caution, as opposed to if she had the right of way. He further alleged that 'had she spent more time focusing on the road than on her mascara, she would have realized that it was his right of way'.
Francine suffers serious injuries on her back and has to have several operations.  It is also anticipated that she will have to undergo future operations to her back. The damages to  her vehicle amount to R75 000 - 00. Francine is instituting action Sihle for damages in the amount of R75 000 - 00.

Draft a letter of demand for Francine that is addressed to Sihle concerning the damages that Francine has incurred. (South Africa).
