简短的英语道歉信【经典20篇】

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 Mr. Clinton

Thank you for your letter of 9 May 20xx concerning faulty goods purchased in our store in London.

I am very sorry indeed that you were not satisfied with the pencils that you bought from our store.

Our company in always trying to improve the quality of its merchandise and we are very unhappy when one of our products does not give satisfaction. In fact, this was due to the breakdown of our packing machine.

In the meantime I regret the disappointment you were caused. As a gesture of goodwill, I have pleasure in refunding the cost of the pencils. And enclose a gift voucher that you can use in our London branch.

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. I hope any further purchases you many make at our stores will be up to our usual high standards

Yours sincerely

Dear Tom,

I feel terribly sorry to tell you that our trip to Beijing next weekend will be rearranged due to my personal reason. I was informed just now that I entered the final of the CCTV English Speech Competition. And the final is to be held next week. The winner of this competition will get an opportunity to study in Harvard University. Sounds fantastic, doesn’t it?

For years, I have been dreaming about studying abroad as an exchange student to learn/experience different cultures. Now the chanceis coming. I think that if you were me, you would grasp it as I do.

Is it possible for us to make another time to visit Beijing? I sincerely hope you can accept my apologies and understand me. Once again, I’m sorry for any inconvenience caused.

incerely yours,

Li Hua

dear prof. wang,

i’m writing to ask you to excuse me for not being able to keep ourappointment. i do know that this is very impolite and must have caused you muchtrouble.

i do reckon that at present any explanation is pale and futile. however ido not want you to misunderstand me. on my way to your office, an old ladysuddenly fainted due to heart attack on the bus. i stopped a taxi and sent herinto a nearby hospital. i stayed there until her son came, which spoiled ourappointment.

i am aware that our appointment is of importance. i do hope that you wouldbe kind enough to spare your valuable to meet me.

i am looking forward to hearing from you.

sincerely yours

Dear Mr. / Ms,

I was very concerned when I received your letter of yesterday complaining that the central heating system in your new house had not been completed by the date promised.

On referring to our earlier correspondence,I find that I had mistaken the date for completion. The fault is entirely mine and I deeply regret that it should have occurred.

I realize the inconvenience our oversight must be causing you and will do everything possible to avoid any further delay. I have already given instructions for the work to have priority and the engineers working on the job to be placed on overtime. These arrangements should see the installation completed by next weekend.

Yours faithfully

尊敬的先生/小姐，

昨天收到你的来信，抱怨你新家的中央加热系统未按规定时间装好，对此我非常关心。参考较早的通信，我发现我搞错了完成日期。错误完全是我的，对此我非常抱歉。

认识到我们的疏忽给你造成的不便，我们将竭尽全力避免再耽搁。我已指示这项工作优先做并让工程人员加班。这样安排会于下周完成安装。

您诚挚的

Dear Mr. / Ms,

We are sorry we cannot send you immediately the catalogue and price list for which you asked in your letter of March 10. Supplies are expected from the printers in two weeks and as soon as we receive them, we will send you a copy.

Yours faithfully

尊敬的先生/小姐，

对三月十日来信所要目录和价格单，很抱歉不能马上寄去。印刷商两周后供货，一旦收到，我们将给您寄去一份。

您诚挚的

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 Chinas airspace and the landing did not have verbal clearance, but very pleased the crew landed safely.

We appreciate Chinas 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,.

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 governments intention to raise U.S. reconnaissance missions near China in the meeting.

Sincerely

Joseph W. Prueher

I feel terrible about the damage John did to your garden. Being a gardener myself, I realize how much work you put into making it productive. I know I would be displeased if someone were to run carelessly through my carefully planted tomatoes.

John feels bad about what he did, and although he cannot repair the damage, he says he wants to compensate you by doing yard work for you this fall. If you agree, I think this would be a good lesson for John.

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 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 Tom,

Im very sorry that I cant go on a trip to Beijing with you next weekend, which I have promised you. Im 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 havent seen each other for about a year, so Ill 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,

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 CableNets 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 dont 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

I apologize for the damage my son did to your screen door. John has delivered newspapers for two years and this is the first glass he has broken. He is embarrassed and understands your frustration. Will you please have the glass repaired and give me the bill.

John will be over to personally apologize and pay for the repairs. You have been a good customer for John, and he looks forward to serving you as long as he has this paper route.

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
