Dear,
I am terrible sorry for not having attended your class on time. Because I had got a headache for several days and it is my first time to live in Chongqing and I can not suit for the weather here quickly.
To be honestly, I like learning English very well and I have made my mind to learn it well both on spoken English and on written English. I think you will be my best teacher to help me improving my English Level. So I apologize again for my not attend your class. I will make my great effort on English in the future and will not make you disappointment next time!
Excuse me for my unintentional fault!
Sincerely yours,
xin

Dear Prof. Patent,
I am very sorry to inform you that I did not manage to complete the book report you assigned last week, due to a sudden illness falling upon me a few days ago. For the past few days I have been in hospital with a continuous fever, which has thus prevented me from any academic activity. I hereby submit the doctor’s note.
I would be very much obliged if you could grant me another week for the task, as my health is turning better.
Hope you can understand my situation and accept my apology.
Yours faithfully,
Li Ming
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 Bob,
I'm writing to apologize for having forgotten to return the "the Beatles" CD to you when I left Canada,I was in such a hurry that I packed everything in my luggage without checking carefully.Had I paid more attention then,I wouldn't have made such a stupid mistake.
Now something must be done to solve the problem because I understand you cherish the CD enormously.I can either send it to you by express mail or alternatively compensate you at a reasonable price.If you do not mind,I may bring it back to you next time I go to Canada.
Please let me know which solution you prefer at your earliest convenience.I really hope you will accept my sincere apology.
Faithfully yours,
Li ming
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 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
It's been a long time not to see you.
I've heard that you come to visit me yesterday while I was not at home. It’s such a pity that I was just outside with in my office with my business by that time. I'm sorry that I didn't get a chance to meet you. How are you and your family these days? Is everything goes well? I do miss you a lot and hope to enjoy a good time with you next time. Please let me know if you are available. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes!
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 China's airspace and the landing did not have verbal clearance, but very pleased the crew landed safely.
We appreciate China's 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, 20xx.
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 government's intention to raise U.S. reconnaissance missions near China in the meeting.
Sincerely
Joseph W. Prueher

i am excessively sorry to say that i had failed to keep the appointment that we made last friday. now, i am writing you this letter of apology to show my deep regret. please accept my sincere apology. i hope you will understand me and excuse me for my failure to turn up.
the reason for my absence was that my mother fell ill at that time. i had no way out because i had to send her to hospital and look after her. therefore, it’s not in my power to meet you.
naturally, i want to suggest that we should make another appointment next time., i shall be obliged if you will kindly write and tell me when and where you will be at convenience.
we may meet again and i hope to see you soon.
yours sincerely,

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 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
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
