英文道歉信范文（精选16篇）
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 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
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

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.

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. 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
Dear Susan,
I’m very sorry that I was out when you came to see me yesterday evening. I’m afraid I’d gone to the pub with some friends and didn’t get back until 12 o’clock. I wish I had known you were in Luoyang as you could have come with us. It would have been a good introduction to the night life!
Anyway, I will call on you at 10 o’clock on Saturday morning at your hotel. We can have the day together, if you have nothing else planned? I’ll show you some of the places of interest that you may not have seen.
Please let me know if you will be available on Saturday morning.
Best wishes

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
Dear Prof.Wong,
I am deeply sorry to inform you that I did not manage to complete the task you designated last week, due to a sudden illness falling upon me these days. For the last week, I have been in a hospital with a continuous fever, which has prevented me from any activity.
To make up my fault, could you please extend my deadline to next Friday? If so, I promise I will finish the task and send my report to you via email.
I do apologize again for any inconvenience it might bring to you, and hope you could accept my apology.
Sincerely yours,
LiMing
Dear Mary,
I’m very sorry for not having replied to your July 6th letter sooner. When your letter
arrived, I was in Beijing. As my secretary couldn’t forward it to me, it has been lying on my desk until I got back.
Thank you for all your news. It is good to know that your company has agreed to sign the contract to continue the cooperation with us. And we surely will have a bigger success in the near future.
Look forward to catching up and once again apologize for the delay.
Sincerely,
Tom
Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m writing this letter to apologize to you. I’m so sorry that we made a mistake about the shipment of vacuum cleaners.
Those vacuum cleaners we sent to you were meant to be sent to European countries, but as the old worker was retired, the new one wasn’t so experienced. Besides, the model number and the price of goods in March and July are so similar that the worker mistaken them.
I am awfully sorry for this and we promise you a replacement shipment. We will also give a 10% discount to compensate.
I do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you and I will try my best to avoid the same accident happening again
Dear Mr. Hunnicutt,
I am writing to apologize for the incorrect invoice you received from us. Owing to a breakdown in communications, we did not credit you with a 10% discount, as agreed.
We shall send you the correct invoice as soon as possible and make sure that such a mistake will not occur again. Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience we have caused.
Your sincerely,
Peter Gibson
Dear Mr. Sherry,
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.
Sincerely yours,
Zoe
Dear Miss ,
I’m your student Tian Chen. Today I’m writing this letter to apologize for my absenteeism in your class with the mood of repentant and ashamed. I have already known my mistake and promised that it will never ever happen again.
When I got my steps into this campus, you and other teachers warned us have to attend classes on time and there was not allowed absenting. Meanwhile I also was told that if I really have any reasonable reasons I suppose to ask for leave first. Only after I got permission can I be out of the class. I have to explain why I was out this time. One of my friends came to visit me. That friend is someone who I really care about somehow lost touch with me for quite a long time. When he arrived here was the time happen to you class began. I chose to give up that class because I can’t wait to meet him after the class as well as in my opinion there is no need to ask for leave to you just for that inadequate excuse. Even though I did that with deep compunction I still did that. That’s why the letter came to you: I’m showing my introspection of making such this mistake!
I do apologize for my absenteeism. The mistake I made run counter to my principals. I know you are angry with me. I’m so sorry to disappoint you. Moreover, as a student, to attend every class without any stupid excuses is our liability and I didn’t perform the responsibility of being a student. After that I thought for a long time and it’s going to my time to pay the price for my impulsion. I have deadly wrong information in my mind which includes three reasons:
First of all is that I don’t have much thought consciousness. If I really interested in this class would I will be absent? Definitely not. I should focus on study more meanwhile value the resources available for us right now. We will not have any classes like in campus when we go into society. How can we despise the precious chances!
Secondly, lack of respect to either you or this class which is cannot be forgiven. From now on I going to show more respect to you and the knowledge as well as pay more attention to important affairs. The lazy in my body have to be gotten rid of.
The last one is that I made a bad influence upon other students. If everyone could be absent to the class then the situation will be out of control. There is no more discipline, no more regulation, will absolutely disturb the normal instructing.
Above all, I already aware it’s a severe mistake. I promise I will behave myself much better in the future and completely eradicate this kind of things happen again. Please forgive me this time and trust me in my future!
Sincerely faithful,
Your student: Tian Chen
