Portuguese term or phrase: INRRAI NO QUI EU FIZ

I am translating a short handwritten letter by someone apologising for what he's done. I am stuck with this word and not sure if it's a colloquialism I haven't' come across before or is a misspelling - there are a few errors in the letter. If anyone can help that would be amazing!

OLA, EU GOSTAVA DE PEDIR DESCULPA PELO O QUE O FIZ E TOU MUITO ARREPENDIDO POR TER FEITO ISTO E SEI QUE EU INRRAI NO QUI EU FIZ E TAMBEM SEI QUE VOU TER QUE PAGAR PELO O QUE EU FIZ.

What I did was a mistake

Explanation:
'Inrrai' is an error for 'errei'. This kind of mispronunciation/misspelling is common in more backward parts of Brazil where people often have little or no schooling (like once I heard 'estrombo' for 'estômago')
