Dear Tom,
I’m very sorry that I can’t go on a trip to Beijing with you next weekend, which I have promised you. I’m writing to tell you the reason for it.(topic)
Just now, my cousin, Li Ming, who went abroad for further education last year, informed me that he would return the next Saturday morning. He asked me to pick him up at the airport with his parents. As you know, we haven’t seen each other for about a year, so I’ll have to help him in the first place.
I really hope that you can accept my apologies and understand me. I would appreciate it if you allow me to fix another time to show you around some places of interest in Beijing.
Wish you have a good time this weekend!
Sincerely yours,
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 Alan，
i'm writing to apologize about last Thursday。 I am terribly sorry that I didn't go to see you，for I lost my wallet。 Anyway，I found it。 But it was too late for the train。 I had to take the bus。 What a pity that I took a wrong one。 It went to Milford。 There，I waited for half an hour for a to Driffield。 It was much worse that on the way to your home，the bus broke down。 So I just went back home to Pigston。 I really do apologize because I didn't speak to you on the phone，but it wasn't my fault。 I tried several times，but there was no answer。
Anyway，how about next Thursday?
Love，
