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 Daisy,
I would like to express my apology for missing our 14 o'clock appointment.
A small accident happened to me when I was on my way to school. I am going
to come over to your apartment the day after tomorrow — Monday, April4, at 14 p.m. If it is convenient for you, I will check my e-mail tomorrow to make sure whether you have left a note for me. Otherwise, I will see you at 14:00 p.m.,
Monday afternoon.
I am very sorry for that again.
Best wishes,
Cathy
Dear Mr. Cruz, 克鲁兹先生，
I would like to apologize for our mistake in sending you the wrong order. This email is in regards to the order placed by your company on 10th of May 20xx.
由于我们的失误，将您的订单弄错，在此，向您表示歉意。我写这封邮件是基于贵司今年5月10日下的订单。
You had placed an urgent order with us for the delivery of two thousand pieces of H7 automotive lamps. But, instead of delivering H7 automotive lamps we ended up delivering to you two thousand pieces of H4 automotive lamps. We mixed your order with another order from another customer who had placed an order of two thousand H4 automotive lamps.
贵司曾给我们下需求20xx支H7汽车灯泡的紧急订单，我们给贵司出的是20xx支H4汽车灯泡，而不是贵司需要的H7汽车灯泡。我们将贵司的H7汽车灯泡订单与另一客户的H4汽车灯泡订单搞混了。
I understand that you must have suffered business losses due to the mistake made by us. On behalf of Mr. Trump, our General Manager, I assure that we will compensate for your losses with the payment in your next order. Here, I also promise that we won't commit such mistake again, and make sure you receive the correct order.
因为我司的错误导致贵司的业务损失，我感同身受。这里，我代表我司总经理特朗普先生保证，将在处理贵司下一个订单时向贵司提供赔偿。我本人也承诺，我司不会再犯类似的错误，确保贵司收到的订单都是正确的。
Best regards, 良好的祝愿!

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 Mr. Smith,
I am indeed very sorry that I missed the examination on International Business English Writing you gave last Friday. I feel awful about it and want you to know what happened that day.
I suddenly fell sick early that morning and my parents had to send me to the hospital. Please find enclosed a copy of the medical bill.
I sincerely hope you can understand my situation and accept my apology. I would appreciate your allowing me to take a make-up examination. I will come to your office during your office hour on Monday to discuss this possibility with you.
Once again, I apologize for any inconvenience caused.

unable to return borrowed book on time
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，
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. 1
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,
Li Ming
