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
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,
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 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.
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 coming 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 don't 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

親愛的戴維：
請原諒我收到您12月7日的來信後遲遲未復，現將原因告訴您，相信您一定會諒解的。您的來信到來時，我正巧在香港，家人無法及時轉遞。你的信一直放在我寫字檯上，直到我回到才看見，拖至今天才回信，深表歉意。
這次出去旅行飽覽了許多美麗景色，下次見到您時，將告訴您一切。
Dear Miss Nancy,
Much to my regret I was unable to keep my promise to attend your birthday party last Saturday, owing to the fact that my little son was suddenly taken ill early that day.
Hoping to see you soon.
Truly yours,
Tom

Dear Bob,
I am writing to express my apology to you. Several days ago, I borrowed your music CD when I lived in your house. Unfortunately, after I came back from Canada, I found it in my luggage. I was in such a hurry that I forgot to return it to you .I will send it to you by post or express as soon Sincerely yours,
Li Ming
Dear Ms Winston,
親愛的溫斯頓女士：
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誠摯的歉意，對於您在上個月安裝網際網路高速服務時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.
我剛從這個假期回來，發現你的檔案在我的籃子裡。我一看你的案子，就知道你的JAU了。第二十要求改變服務的方式不知怎麼地從裂縫中溜走了。我能給出的唯一可能的解釋是，我們最近發生了一些關鍵的員工變動，這可能導致您的信被忽略。
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，我已指示我們的安裝小組在本週末之前與您聯絡，以便為您安排一個方便的時間，以便他們能夠去您家安裝您的新路由器，並對您的軟體進行必要的調整。
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.
由於這次的嚴重疏忽，作為我們對您作為我們的客戶的感謝的證明，我們將免費為您提供頭三個月的高速服務。因此，您的帳戶將不會計費到今年六月。
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.
溫斯頓女士，讓我向你保證，在你的情況下發生的事情不典型的CableNet的客戶服務水平。我們將繼續致力於為您和我們所有的客戶提供最高的服務標準。
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to call me.
如果你有任何問題，請不要猶豫，123456點鐘打電話給我。
Yours in service
您的服務

親愛的張
我很抱歉的告訴你，我昨晚沒能來參加你的生日聚會。這是由於這樣的事實，我的老朋友訪問我的房子沒有告訴我確切的時間。我得招待那些朋友和我在整個晚上的激情，我將繼續受理以下兩天。
我真後悔沒有親自去慶祝你的生日，錯過了一個美妙的機會享受這種同寅與我們自己。我已經準備了一個漂亮的禮物給你，會把這個下午給我的最好的生日desi相信你能理解我對你。
最美好的祝福

As you are reading this letter, I bet that you have seen/heard about what happened earlier in our country.
Tourists were hostages of a policeman here, Rolando Mendoza. After a few hours of the horrible crime, some of the victims were dead including the hostage-taker.
I wrote this letter not just to apologize but also to let everyone know that we Filipinos are not all like Mendoza. We are loving and good-hearted people.
For so many years, our country has been standing tall and surpassing every dilemma; be it small or big. Years ago (back when I wasn’t born yet), you have watched us fight for what we think is right. We fought for the democracy of our nation.. The EDSA revolution. But that’s just one out of many.
Second. We Filipinos have been serving other countries for our families and we treat you as our own as well. With all due respect, I thank you all for giving us the trust through the years. For helping us to become what we are now.
The Philippines is more than just a group of islands. We are a nation of strong and remarkable people. A country of beauty and love known to be hospitable and well-valued. I humbly apologize for what happened tonight. No one in this world would want something like that to happen for life should be valued.
I politely ask the attention of the world. Please do not judge and mistreat us just because of what happened tonight. I have been searching the net and found terrible things. Hong Kong advices to avoid travels here, China and HK bans Filipinos and that Philippines is the worst place to go.
I can’t blame you for what you have decided but I hope that you could understand. Our country is now in a sea of problems. And I know for sure that we helped you in a way or another. Let peace and understanding reign this time.
I know that this letter will just be trash but I wish that you would understand. On behalf of the Philippine population.. WE ARE SORRY.
As a song puts it…
And I believe that in my life I will see an end to hopelessness, giving-up and suffering. And we all stand together this one time then no one will get left behind. Stand up for life. STAND UP FOR LOVE
Sincerely yours,
Reigno Jose Dilao
Dear David,
I am truly sorry that I cannot attend the project meeting to be held on next Tuesday afternoon.
The reason is that I am going to take a business to Shanghai by plane that day, so I will be unavailable for the meeting. However, considering the importance of the meeting, I will be grateful if you could send me a brief record of the project progress by E-mail. I will check the record and send my feedback to you.
Once again, I am sorry for any inconvenience caused. Hope you can accept my apologies and understand my situation.
Yours sincerely,
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.
Dear Kate:
Excuse me for my long delaying in returning to you your “Robinson Crusoe” which I read through with great interest.

Dear Chris,
How is everything going?
I remember we planned to visit Yunnan in July but now because my left foot was injured, I cannot go with you as planned。
I’m sorry about it。
Can I suggest that we put it off until early august? I wish you could understand。
I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon。
Yours,
Joe
Dear Susan,
Im very sorry that I was out when you came to see me yesterday evening. Im afraid Id gone to the pub with some friends and didnt get back until 12 oclock. 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 oclock on Saturday morning at your hotel. We can have the day together, if you have nothing else planned? Ill 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
