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.

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.

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

Hi George,

I’m really, really sorry but I just can’t make it for basketball practice this evening. We’ve got a biology test tomorrow and I haven’t yet started studying for it. I can’t afford to fail the test, because I already failed the last one.

I promise to make up for it by the next practice session.

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 Mr. Parker,

I would like to apologize for my absence yesterday (November 28, 20xx) since I had to urgently go home to our province. We had a family emergency, and I wasnt able to call you immediately.

I am willing to render the hours lost during my absence as to make up for its effect on our production. Rest assured that you will be immediately notified if such circumstances happen again in the future.

Sincerely,

Karen Turner

Dear John,

I am extremely sorry to tell you that I am unable to go to your party this Sunday. It is very kind of you to invite me to your house and I really look forward to going to your party and sharing your happy experience abroad.

Much to my regret, I will be absent from your party, owing to the fact that the College Entrance Exam, for which I am now really busy preparing, is just around the corner. Whats worse, I have caught a bad cold lately and I am really not myself. Anyway, we will have many more chances to get together. Shall we make it after the Exam? I am truly sorry. I hope you will forgive me and accept my sincere apology.

Enjoy yourself and wish your party a great success. 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

您的服务

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
