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 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 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,

Dear Ms Jeremy,
Thank you for your letter of 6 October. After supplying your restaurants for 5 years, I was extremely sorry to hear that the batch of bowls and forks which you received on 2 September was not of usual quality.
After careful investigation, we found that the cause of the problem was a faulty packing machine. It has now been repaired. I can promise you that this type of problem will not happen again.
According to the sales contract between us, we will, of course, replace your faulty delivery free of charge.
I would like to offer our apologies once again and thank you being an excellent customer.
Yours sincerely，(Your Name)
