Three quick questions
I just got a call from Amanda. She would just let me know that apparently her car broke down, so she's not coming.
Is "she would just let me know that" natural here?
Is "apparently" placed correctly in the sentence?
Anything else?
Thanks for your time.

anonymous I just got a call from Amanda. She would just let me know that apparently her car broke down, so she's not coming. Omit 'would' and 'apparently'.
