简短的英语道歉信(20篇)

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

Dearest mother,

How are you and dad doing? I hope my letter will ease the disappointment you must be feeling after I called you to say that I will not be able to go home for Christmas holidays.

I am so sorry to miss the family dinner on Christmas eve this year. I have a ton of requirements to finish before the year ends and I could not afford to have a vacation this year.

I will simply spend Christmas eve with friends here and then go back to the college campus to work on my project and other documents I must submit on the first week of January.

Dont worry, this is but a small sacrifice for us to make so that I finish my studies soon. I know you will be delighted come graduation day and I will do my best to graduate with honors. I will miss you all!

Love,

Oliver

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 david:

sincerely yours，

tom

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 Sir,

I am writing to apologize for the bad performance of the washing machine you bought from our department store. I do hope(希望的语气可以稍微强烈一点) you can accept my sincere apologies.

In fact, the mistake is due to our ignorance(万能开头，啥错误不是失误呀). The manufacturer of the washing machine has cooperated(完成时要注意。) with us for ten years, and never made(过去没有犯过错误，现在有了) a mistake like this, then we did not double check the product.(自己还是有责任的) I want you to know that your trust is very important to us, so we will send(解决方案是将来时) an employee to take the machine back and give you a full refund.

Once again, I am sorry for any inconvenience caused by it, and hope you can accept the apologies.(再次道歉)

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)

Li Hua

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

First should put your things casually and forget to take, the second is you blame me, I should apologize to you, to comfort you, rather than walk away .I should not make you angry, anyway, thousand wrong all wrong is all my fault.

We have known each other for 6 years, you know me, I have been few friends. We met the first day of school, get along well with each other. But in the third grade, I, it is not your good friend. To be honest I have is all alone, over the years until sixth grade turns to a girl in our class, with her, I am not lonely. Soon graduated, I hope to bring good memories to my primary school life. I even dont get along the classmates at ordinary times to chat, talk, exchanges.

Especially you, are you angry, be wronged, I comfort you, make you laugh. Play with you, hope and you can become good friends again. Still remember the rainy weather were having our lessons in the classroom when you are not happy I give you preach note? "The sky is sugar, even if fall under what? what the rain again big, just pour a happily smile... its not a big deal happy smile." I remember these notes!

Hope I can with a note from you smile again. I am very cherish our friendship, but at that time, Im just a fool. Mimi, forgive me? We also will be good friends!

If so, please dont 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.

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.
