Dear Charlie，
Kindly excuse me for my not being able to see you off at the airport this Saturday as I have promised。
A major business partner of our pany will be attending an important conference in Xiamen this weekend， and my boss finally chooses me to acpany him there to negotiate about a new transaction。 I have just been informed of this plan and am happy about the decision—this is an opportunity to both display and enhance my abilities， so I am afraid I cannot be present at the airport。
Pursuing study overseas is an essential step in the acplishment of your dream。 How I wish I could have the chance to share with you my personal feelings and suggestions before you are away! I hereby send you a gift to wish you good luck。 Please forgive me。
Cordially，
Li Ming
Dear Sarah，
I am terribly sorry to tell you that I am unable to attend your birthday part next Thursday evening。 That is owing to the fact that my younger brother suddenly fell ill and was taken to a hospital this morning。 I have to go there immediately and take care of him。 As told by the doctor in charge， it will take around five days for him to recover and I have asked my boss for a leave。
I really regret that I cannot go to celebrate your birthday personally and would miss the perfect chance of enjoying myself with all our old friends。 I have chosen a small gift for you and will send it to you tomorrow to show my best wishes。 Besides， please give my regards to our friends when you meet them at the party。
Cordially，
Li Ming
Dear Kate:
Excuse me for my long delaying in returning to you your “Robinson Crusoe” which I read through with great interest。
I had finished reading the book and was about to return it when my cousin came to see me。 Never having seen the book， She was so interested in it that I had to retain it longer。
However， I hope that in view of the additional delight thus afforded by your book， you will overlook my negligence in not returning it sooner。
Thanking you again for the loan。
Sincerely yours，
亲爱的凯特:

然而，我期望针对供给的额外的喜悦从而你的书，你会忽略我的疏忽没能提前回到。
再次感激你的贷款。
谨致问候，
因未能及时还书致歉

亲爱的查理，
请原谅我的不能给你送行机场这个星期六我已经承诺。我们公司的主要业务合作伙伴将出席一个重要会议在厦门这个周末，和我的老板最终选择我陪他去谈判关于一个新事务。
我刚刚被告知这个计划，我高兴的决定是一个机会展示和提高我的本事，所以我恐怕不能到机场。追求海外留学是一个重要的一步成就你的梦想。
Dear David，
亲爱的大卫，
I’m writing this letter to express my sincerely appologies to you for losing the book you lent to me。 I’m very appreciated you lent it to me。 In order to give it back to you as soon as possible， I took it to the library yesterday。 I also borrow some other books in the library before I left。 Unluckily， when I arrived at my dormitory， I couldn’t find your book。 I searched all my dormitory and the road from the dormitory to the library。 The next day I also looked for the library。 However， I couldn’t find your book。 I’m sorry I can’t give back to you on time as I promised before。 But I will buy a new one for you later。Hope you can accept my appologies。
我写这封信是为了表达我对弄丢了你借给我的书的真诚的歉意。我很感激你把书借给我。为了能够尽快把书还给你，我昨日把它带到图书馆去看了。在我离开图书馆之前我也借了几本图书馆的书。很不幸的是，我回到宿舍后发现你的书不见了。我把宿舍，宿舍到图书馆的路都找遍了。 第二天我也去图书馆找了。可是，我就死找不到你的书。我很抱歉不能遵守之前的承诺按时把书还给你。可是我后面会帮你买一本新的。期望你能理解我的道歉。
Yours Sincerely，
Li Lei

Dear Sir or Madame，
As one of the regular customers of your online store， I am writing this letter to express my plaint against the flaws in your product—an electronic dictionary I bought in your shop the other day。
The dictionary is supposed to be a favorable tool for my study。
Unfortunately， I found that there are several problems。
To begin with， when I opened it， I detected that the appearance of it had been scratched。
Secondly， I did not find the battery promised in the advertisement posted on the homepage of your shop， which makes me feel that you have not kept your promise。
What is worse， some of the keys on the keyboard do not work。
I strongly request that a satisfactory explanation be given and effective measures should be taken to improve your service and the quality of your products。
You can either send a new one to me or refund me my money in full。
I am looking forward to your reply at your earliest convenience。
Sincerely yours，
Li Hua
Dear Mr。 Smith，
I am indeed very sorry that I missed the examination on International Business English Writing you gave last Friday。 I feel awful about it and want you to know what happened that day。
I suddenly fell sick early that morning and my parents had to send me to the hospital。 Please find enclosed a copy of the medical bill。
I sincerely hope you can understand my situation and accept my apology。 I would appreciate your allowing me to take a make-up examination。 I will e to your office during your office hour on Monday to discuss this possibility with you。
Once again， I apologize for any inconvenience caused。
Sincerely yours，
Wang Hua
Dear Mr。 Robert，
I would like to apologize for the delay in shipping your order。 Due to excessive demand last month， it seems impossible for us to process all the orders in time。
However， we sent your order earlier this morning， and we are sure you will receive them by tomorrow。
Please accept our sincere apologies again for any inconvenience we have caused you。
Thank you very much for your consideration。
Yours truly，
NKC Co。
亲爱的罗伯特先生：
我想要对此次的交货延迟道歉。由于上个月订单过多，我们不太可能及时完成所有的订单。
可是您的货品我们已于今日早上寄出，相信您将于明天之前收到货品。
给您造成任何不便，请再次理解我们真诚的歉意。
十分感激您的谅解。
您真诚的，
NKC 公司
Dear Frank:
I am terribly sorry to tell you that I have lost the valuable book you were so kind to lend me last week。 I read it everyday and intended to finish it next month。 Last night when I came to my room， it was nowhere to be found。 I will try to recover it as soon as possible。 If I fail to find it， I will get a new book for you。
But I am afraid it can never take the place of the old one。 Old books are like old friends。 Once lost， they can never be replaced。 They are connected with cherished associations which the new ones can never have。 And for this irrecoverable loss， I am to blame。 I was so careless with my things。 This is a warning to me to be more careful in the future。
Yours truly，
Tom
Dear Susan
I’m awfully sorry I forgot to meet you at the railway station yesterday。
We had an end-of-term party in our dormitory the night before。
I was so proud of the final exam results that I drank like a fish all night。
I felt dizzy all day yesterday and had little sense of what I should do。
It was in the evening that I realized I forgot to meet you at the railway station。
Since then， I’ve tried to call you several times， but I feel you are still angry with me and wouldn’t answer my phone call。
I promise this will not happen and wish you would forgive me。
Dear Toms，
I am writing to apologize for the noise from my flat。 I did not realize that it had spoiled your evenings and made you nervous。 If I had known that， I would have stopped it。 So， I do hope you can accept my sincere apologies。
As you may guess， there is something wrong with the door in my living room。 I try to fix it in the evenings everyday I get home from work。 It is unfortunate that I am not good at fixing so it takes longer that I expected， which gave rise to so much noise。 I regret to say that until now， the door is still out of work。 But I have decided to call in a professional builder who， as I see it， will finish the rest work in no more than three days。 I promise that he will only work during daytime， and you will not be disturbed in the evenings again。
Once again， I am so sorry for any inconvenience caused by it。
Sincerely yours，
Richard
Dear Anne，
Thank you for your invitation to dinner at your home tomorrow evening。 Unfortunately， it is much to my regret that I cannot join you and your family， because I will be fully occupied then for an important exam ing the day after tomorrow。 I feel terribly sorry for missing the chance of such a happy get-together， and I hope that all of you enjoy a good time。 Is it possible for you and me to have a private meeting afterward? If so， please dont hesitate to drop me a line about your preferable date。 I do long for a pleasant chat with you。
Please allow me to say sorry again。
Regards，
Li Ming

Dear John，
I am eagerly looking forward to your visit to our city。 After all these years of writing to each other， I can not wait to see you。 However， I regret to inform you that I will not be able to meet you at the airport on time。
The reason is that your flight will arrive early in the morning， and the earliest I can reach the airport will be about an hour after you land。 Will you please wait for me in the arrival lounge? You can have breakfast while you wait。
By the way， as we have never met I must tell you home to identify me: I am of 165cm tall and have a long hair。 In addition， I will wear a white skirt and carry a China Daily at hand。
Hope we can meet soon。
Sincerely yours，
Alice
亲爱的约翰：
我十分期待着你来参观我们的城市。这么多年来我们一向通信，我早就想见到你了。可是很抱歉我不能按时到机场接你。
因为你的飞机是一大早就到达机场，而我最早也要1小时后才能到。你能不能在旅客休息室等我，你能够利用这段时光吃早饭。
随便说一句，因为我们没过面，我得告诉你怎样找我：我大概1。65米，长发。另外我会穿一件白色的裙子，手上拿一份中国日报。
期望早点见到你。
你真挚的：艾丽丝
Dear Friends，
Please accept my sincere apology for the inconvenience that I caused you by adding the extra visiting without your permission。
I had no intention of intruding on your personal life。 In China， arranging interesting leisure activities for visitors is a mon way to show wele。 However， as your receptionist， I should have realized that you are inclined to regard your private time as an inviolable treasure and hate to be harassed by unplanned matters。
I’m really sorry that I didn’t check with you before making such insiderate arrangement 。All I can say is that it won’t happen again。
Sincerely，
LiLi
Dear Tom，
I’m very sorry that I can’t go on a trip to Beijing with you next weekend， which I have promised you。I’m writing to tell you the reason for it。(topic)
Just now， my cousin， Li Ming， who went abroad for further education last year， informed me that he would return the next Saturday morning。
He asked me to pick him up at the airport with his parents。
As you know， we haven’t seen each other for about a year， so I’ll have to help him in the first place。
I really hope that you can accept my apologies and understand me。
I would appreciate it if you allow me to fix another time to show you around some places of interest in Beijing。
Wish you have a good time this weekend!
Yours，
Li Ming
