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。

Dear Jane,
I am excessively sorry to tell you that I won’t be able to come this afternoon because I have to go to the airport at 2:00 p.m. to meet an overseas visitor from Australia.
I really have kept our date in my mind all these days. However, I received my boss’e-mail this morning, and he asked me to go to the airport to meet one of his friends from abroad. It’s sudden and urgent and I must go.
I’m sorry for any inconvenience caused. Please forgive me. Would you please ring me up to make another time? We may meet again and I hope to see you soon.
Sincerely，
Li Ming
Dear Sarah,
I am terribly sorry to tell you that I am unable to attend your birthday party next Thursday evening. That is owing to(因为) the fact that (同位语从句)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, (sincerely)

Dear Mr. Cruz, 克鲁兹先生，
I would like to apologize for our mistake in sending you the wrong order. This email is in regards to the order placed by your company on 10th of May 20xx. 由于我们的失误，将您的订单弄错，在此，向您表示歉意。我写这封邮件是基于贵司今年5月10日下的订单。You had placed an urgent order with us for the delivery of two thousand pieces of H7 automotive lamps. But, instead of delivering H7 automotive lamps we ended up delivering to you two thousand pieces of H4 automotive lamps. We mixed your order with another order from another customer who had placed an order of two thousand H4 automotive lamps. 贵司曾给我们下需求20xx支H7汽车灯泡的紧急订单，我们给贵司出的是20xx支H4汽车灯泡，而不是贵司需要的H7汽车灯泡。我们将贵司的H7汽车灯泡订单与另一客户的H4汽车灯泡订单搞混了。I understand that you must have suffered business losses due to the mistake made by us. On behalf of Mr. Trump, our General Manager, I assure that we will compensate for your losses with the payment in your next order. Here, I also promise that we won't commit such mistake again, and make sure you receive the correct order. 因为我司的错误导致贵司的业务损失，我感同身受。这里，我代表我司总经理特朗普先生保证，将在处理贵司下一个订单时向贵司提供赔偿。我本人也承诺，我司不会再犯类似的错误，确保贵司收到的订单都是正确的。
Best regards, 良好的祝愿!

Dear Ms Winston,
亲爱的温斯顿女士：
The purpose of this is to convey to you my sincere apologies for any inconvenience you may have experience last month with respect to the installation of your Internet high speed service.
我的目的是向您表示诚挚的歉意，对于您在上个月安装互联网高速服务时可能遇到的任何不便。
I just returned from vacation this week and found your file in my in-basket. As soon as I reviewed your case it was clear that somehow your Jau. 20th request for a change in service had somehow slipped through the cracks. The only possible explanation I can give is that we have recently had a number of key staff changes, which might have resulted in your letter being overlooked.
我刚从这个假期回来，发现你的文件在我的篮子里。我一看你的案子，就知道你的JAU了。第二十要求改变服务的方式不知怎么地从裂缝中溜走了。我能给出的唯一可能的解释是，我们最近发生了一些关键的员工变动，这可能导致您的信被忽略。
Consequently, I have directed our installation group to contact you by the end of this week to set up a time convenient to you when they could go to your house and install your new router and make the necessary adjustments to your software.
因此，我已指示我们的安装小组在本周末之前与您联系，以便为您安排一个方便的时间，以便他们能够去您家安装您的新路由器，并对您的软件进行必要的调整。
Because of this serious oversight, and as a testament to our appreciation of you as out customer , we are going to provide you with your first three months of high speed service for free charge. There fore, your account will not be billed until June of this year.
由于这次的严重疏忽，作为我们对您作为我们的客户的感谢的证明，我们将免费为您提供头三个月的高速服务。因此，您的帐户将不会计费到今年六月。
Ms. Winston, let me assure you that what happened in your case is not typical of CableNet's level of customer service. We continue to be committed to providing you and all of our customers with the highest standards of service in the industry.
温斯顿女士，让我向你保证，在你的情况下发生的事情不典型的CableNet的客户服务水平。我们将继续致力于为您和我们所有的客户提供最高的服务标准。
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to call me.
如果你有任何问题，请不要犹豫，123456点钟打电话给我。
Yours in service

Dear Daisy,
I would like to express my apology for missing our 14 o'clock appointment.
A small accident happened to me when I was on my way to school. I am going
to come over to your apartment the day after tomorrow — Monday, April4, at 14 p.m. If it is convenient for you, I will check my e-mail tomorrow to make sure whether you have left a note for me. Otherwise, I will see you at 14:00 p.m.,
Monday afternoon.
I am very sorry for that again.
Best wishes,
Cathy
Dear Mary,
I am very much looking forward to your visit to my city. Just think: after all these years of writing to each other, we will finally have the chance to meet! However, I regret to inform you that I will not be able to meet you at the airport as soon as you arrive.
The reason is that your flight will arrive early in the morning, and the quickest I can get to the airport will be about an hour after you land. Please wait for me in the arrival lounge. You should be able to have breakfast there while you wait.
By the way, as we have never met I must tell you how to recognize me: I am medium height and have a small mustache. In addition, I will be carrying a copy of the morning newspaper tucked under my left arm.
Looking forward to out first meeting.
Yours sincerely,
Harry
Dear Miss Nancy,

Hoping to see you soon.

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 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，我昨天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。但是我后面会帮你买一本新的。希望你能接受我的道歉。
Yours Sincerely,
Li Lei

Dear Mr. Wang，
I am much grateful to be employed by you two months ago as an editor for your magazine Design & Fashions. I appreciate the opportunity of having worked here with you and other colleagues.
The experiences will be unforgettable throughout my ver, as a young man whose primary interest is in computer science rather than fashion designing, I find my present job doesn’t fall in with my previous training and strength.
I therefore decide to quit this job for something else that may conform to my former se accept my sincere apologies for any inconvenience my leaving may cause.
Yours truly,

Dear Mr Minister,
On behalf of the United States Government, I now outline steps to resolve this issue.
Both President Bush and Secretary of State Powell have expressed their sincere regret over your missing pilot and aircraft. Please convey to the Chinese people and to the family of pilot Wang Wei that we are very sorry for their loss. Although the full picture of what transpired is still unclear, according to our information, our severely crippled aircraft made an emergency landing after following international emergency procedures. We are very sorry the entering of China's airspace and the landing did not have verbal clearance, but very pleased the crew landed safely.
We appreciate China's efforts to see to the well-being of our crew. In view of the tragic incident and based on my discussions with your representatives, we have agreed to the following actions:
Both sides agree to hold a meeting to discuss the incident. My government understands and expects that our air crew will be permitted to depart China as soon as possible.
The meeting would be April 18, 20xx.
The meeting agenda would include discussions of the causes of the incident, possible recommendations whereby such collisions could be avoided in the future, development of a plan for prompt return of the EP-3 aircraft, and other related issues. We acknowledge your government's intention to raise U.S. reconnaissance missions near China in the meeting.
Sincerely
Joseph W. Prueher

亲爱的凯特：
我迟迟未能归还您的那本《鲁滨逊飘流记》，请原谅。该书我读得津津有味。读完后，正预备归还您时，我的表妹来访，见这本书也感兴趣，定要借去一读。为了让别人也能分享您那本书所给予的乐趣，我不能及时归还。我想再延迟些日子奉还，谅您不会介意的。
再次感谢您的慷慨。

To ：
I’m sorry to say that I cannot go to the bookstore with you on Friday afternoon. I have just found that I have to attend an important class meeting that afternoon. I hope the change will not cause you too much trouble.
Shall we go on Saturday morning? We can set out early so that we’ll have more time to read and select books. If it’s convenient for you, let’s meet at 8:30 outside the school gate. If not, let me know what time suits you best. I should be available any time after school next week.
Yours,
Li Hua
Dear John ：
John Please allow me to apologize for what I said on last Friday’s meeting. My behavior was extremely inappropriate, immature, and lacked the respect you and your team deserved. It was embarrassing, but I learned that nobody appreciated my poor behavior. In the future, I have every intention of curbing my thoughtless actions and learn to adjust my behavior befitting the environment and situation.
Again, I am sorry for my actions and I hope that we can put this matter behind us. I look forward to working with you soon. If you have any thoughts in this, please feel free to share. You may contact me at your convenience at email or phone.
Sincerely,
Dear Ms Sciberras,
I would like to apologise for not returning the books but I have been away from school for a week because I had the measles. I will not be coming to school for another week or so. I promise I will return the books as soon as I am back.
Thank you.
Regards,
Anita Borg

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 company will be attending an important conference in Xiamen this weekend, and my boss finally chooses me to accompany 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 accomplishment of your dream.
Sincerely yours,
Dear Mr. Hunnicutt,
I am writing to apologize for the incorrect invoice you received from us. Owing to a breakdown in communications, we did not credit you with a 10% discount, as agreed.
We shall send you the correct invoice as soon as possible and make sure that such a mistake will not occur again. Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience we have caused.
Your sincerely,
Dear Tom,
It’s a long time since we met last time and I miss you very much. hanks for your invitation. However, I regret to tell you that I can’t travel o America this winter holiday for some unavoidable reasons.
First of all, it’s the coming of the Spring Festival that makes me refer to stay at home rather than take a travel to America. As far as
we Chinese are concerned, the Spring Festival is a family time treasured
by us all. What’s more, the College Entrance Examination is coming. So
significant is it to me that I will attend some tutorial classes during this
winter holiday for some of my weak divisions. Taking all the above
factors into consideration, I have to say sorry again
Anyway, shall I make it after the Exam? I will appreciate it if you
can be my guide at the time. Yours
Li Hua
