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 professor Jackson：
I am indeed very sorry that I missed the examination you gave on Moby-Dick last Wednesday. I feel badly about it and want you to know what happened.
On my way to class that day，I had a flat tire，and I had to go with the mechanic when he repaired it. It took me more than one hour to get it done. A copy of the bill is enclosed.
I sincerely hope you can accept my apologies and understand my situation. I would appreciate your allowing me to take a make up examination. I willeto your office during your office hour on Monday to discuss this possibility with you. Once again，I''m sorry fro any inconvenience caused.
Sincerely yours，
Alice
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.
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.
Don't 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 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.
Dear Bob,
I am writing to express my apology to you. Several days ago, I borrowed your music CD when I lived in your house. Unfortunately, after I came back from Canada, I found it in my luggage. I was in such a hurry that I forgot to return it to you .I will send it to you by post or express as soon Sincerely yours,
Li Ming
Dear Dad,
How are you doing? I hope you are recovering fast from your illness and that you are already feeling better. I want to apologize for not being able to visit you at the hospital.
I was sent by my office to an international conference in London and I could not leave at the time I received news of your operation.
I am back home and have requested a leave of absence from work next week so that I may visit you there. I am really sorry I wasn't able to accompany you at the time you experienced extreme pain.
It is fortunate that Linda was able to fly home immediately and see you. I will make it up to you and cook you your favorite food when I get there. We will spend a great week together, doing what we have been doing when I was still a child.
See you soon, Dad.
Your son,
Jeffrey
Dear Mr. Parker,
I would like to apologize for my absence yesterday (November 28, 20xx) since I had to urgently go home to our province. We had a family emergency, and I wasn't able to call you immediately.
I am willing to render the hours lost during my absence as to make up for its effect on our production. Rest assured that you will be immediately notified if such circumstances happen again in the future.
Sincerely,
Karen Turner
