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 David:
I am afraid that you will think me unpardonably negligent in not
having answered your letter dated 7, December sooner, but when I have told you the reason, I trust you will be convinced that the neglect was excusable. When your letter arrived, I was just in Hong Kong. As my family could not forward it to me during my absence, it has been, therefore, lying on my desk until the moment when I took it up. Now the first thing I have to hasten to do is to write to you these few lines to express my deep regret.
I enjoyed many pleasant sights during my trip. I shall be pleased to give you an account to of them when I see you next.
Sincerely yours,
Tom

Dear Miss ,
I’m your student Tian Chen. Today I’m writing this letter to apologize for my absenteeism in your class with the mood of repentant and ashamed. I have already known my mistake and promised that it will never ever happen again.
When I got my steps into this campus, you and other teachers warned us have to attend classes on time and there was not allowed absenting. Meanwhile I also was told that if I really have any reasonable reasons I suppose to ask for leave first. Only after I got permission can I be out of the class. I have to explain why I was out this time. One of my friends came to visit me. That friend is someone who I really care about somehow lost touch with me for quite a long time. When he arrived here was the time happen to you class began. I chose to give up that class because I can’t wait to meet him after the class as well as in my opinion there is no need to ask for leave to you just for that inadequate excuse. Even though I did that with deep compunction I still did that. That’s why the letter came to you: I’m showing my introspection of making such this mistake!
I do apologize for my absenteeism. The mistake I made run counter to my principals. I know you are angry with me. I’m so sorry to disappoint you. Moreover, as a student, to attend every class without any stupid excuses is our liability and I didn’t perform the responsibility of being a student. After that I thought for a long time and it’s going to my time to pay the price for my impulsion. I have deadly wrong information in my mind which includes three reasons:
First of all is that I don’t have much thought consciousness. If I really interested in this class would I will be absent? Definitely not. I should focus on study more meanwhile value the resources available for us right now. We will not have any classes like in campus when we go into society. How can we despise the precious chances!
Secondly, lack of respect to either you or this class which is cannot be forgiven. From now on I going to show more respect to you and the knowledge as well as pay more attention to important affairs. The lazy in my body have to be gotten rid of.
The last one is that I made a bad influence upon other students. If everyone could be absent to the class then the situation will be out of control. There is no more discipline, no more regulation, will absolutely disturb the normal instructing.
Above all, I already aware it’s a severe mistake. I promise I will behave myself much better in the future and completely eradicate this kind of things happen again. Please forgive me this time and trust me in my future!
Sincerely faithful,
Your student: Tian Chen
.
Dear teacher
When I leave the classroom without permission, I found that I made a big mistake. I did not wait until the teacher came, went to eat. This is a lack of respect for the teacher. When I was young, my parents hope I can respect the teacher and classmates, but I did not do this point. I'm rude and arrogant behavior let you received distress. I hope you can give me a chance to start with a clean slate, after all, we are your most loving students. Think carefully, these days I do have some confused, make these bad things, and again I am sorry. I promise I won't do such a thing.
Your student Victor

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 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.
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,

Dear Susan,
I’m very sorry that I was out when you came to see me yesterday evening. I’m afraid I’d gone to the pub with some friends and didn’t get back until 12 o’clock. I wish I had known you were in Luoyang as you could have come with us. It would have been a good introduction to the night life!Anyway, I will call on you at 10 o’clock on Saturday morning at your hotel. We can have the day together, if you have nothing else planned? I’ll show you some of the places of interest that you may not have seen.
Please let me know if you will be available on Saturday morning.
Best wishes

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.

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,

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.
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.

Wish you have a good time this weekend!

Dear Zhang,
I am really sorry to tell you that I was unable to attend your birthday party yesterday evening. That is owing to the fact that my old friends visited my house without telling me the exact time. I had to entertain those friends with my passion in the entire evening,and I will continue to entertain them in the following two days.
I really regret that I haven't go to celebrate your birthday personally and had missed a wonderful chance to enjoy myself with our kind colleages. I have prepared a pretty gift to you yesterday and will send to you this afternoon to show my best birthday wishes. Besides, I trust that you will understand me.
Best wishes,
yours sincerely,
Tom
