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.
yours sincerely,
li ming

Dear Sarah，
I am terribly sorry to tell you that I am unable to attend your birthday party next Thursday evening. That is owing to the fact that my younger brother suddenly fell ill and was taken to a hospital this morning. I have to go there immediately and take care of him. As told by the doctor in charge， it will take around five days for him to recover and I have asked my boss for a leave.
I really regret that I cannot go to celebrate your birthday personally and would miss the perfect chance of enjoying myself with all our old friends. I have chosen a small gift for you and will send it to you tomorrow to show my best wishes. Besides， please give my regards to our friends when you meet them at the party.
Yours truly,
Li Hua
Dear frank:
i am terribly sorry to tell you that i have lost the valuable book you were so kind to l me last week. i read it everyday and inted 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 fris. 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.

Dear Sir or Madam:
Many thanks for your fax dated 7th September address to General Manager concerning the problems you experienced during your last visit from 29th-30th August. Mr. Ford, our General Manager is away on leave at present and therefore I have taken the liberty of replying to you on his behalf.
Mr. Niemann, please accept our sincere apologies for the problems you have experienced - our policy, which you were unfortunately wrongly informed as a newnpolicy, stands that those Golden Circle members who are eligible for upgrades may book through any channel, subject of course to room availability. I have subsequently taken appropriate steps to ensure that none of our other eligible Golden Circle guests are similarly inconvenienced in future.
I have also noted your comments concerning our housekeeping Staff and their lack of English and basic courtesy and I assure you that we will be intensifying our training efforts in both those areas in an effort to improve our standards.
It is only through feedback such as your own that we can judge ourselves honestly and enhance the overall experience for you, our valued guest and therefore I thank you for taking the time to put pen top paper.
We are normally very proud of the service which we offer at China World, and thus, in an effort to redeem ourselves, we would like to offer you one nights complimentary accommodation when next you visit Beijing. To this end, I would be grateful if would contact me personally and I will gladly make the necessary arrangements on your behalf along with any specific requirements you may have.
My apologies once again and I look forward to welcoming you back to China world Hotel in the near future.
Regards
Alfred Zhuang

Dear teacher:
First I am so sorry that I didn’t go to listen your class on Monday afternoon .I think when you know the reason I can’t go to your class ,you will forgive me .
Last week because of the hot weather ,I caught a bad cold .Up to now my body still has not recovered completely .So I ate medicine and I’m ready to go to sleep at the noon .Perhaps as a result of medicine’s effect ,I slept deeply .So that the alarm clock rang ,I haven’t heard .When I waked up,I realized I’m late to class .I’m very worried ,but my body is still very uncomfortable ,so I didn’t go to your class.
This thing that I didn’t go to your class shouldn’t happen,so I apologize to you . I have already known my mistake deeply .I thought of many things and I reflected on my own. I regretted what I did .As a student ,the most basic thing is gong to class ,but I haven’t done it ,I am ashamed to my mistake .This kind of behavior didn’t respect teacher who are teaching other students .The mistake I made not only took the trouble to the teacher ,but also had a bad influence on classmates .If everyone like me didn’t go to class ,teacher will not be teaching as usual .Now I have already deeply aware of the importance of this matter .so I told myself I must treat this thing as a major event .I can’t let teacher be disappointed to me .But in practical life because of all kinds of reasons ,I forgot teacher’s teaching .So I wanted to remember teacher’s teaching by writing this criticism text .
Not go to your class ,this is not a small thing .After entering the university ,I’m curious to anything and felt I can do everything in this world . So in the study life I’m not strict to myself ,which caused this phenomenon ,I hope I can get teacher’s forgive .I improved my thinking and understanding through this thing .Now I understood it’s very important for me to hard study .Not every person has this study opportunity ,so I should cherish the opportunity .Only study hard ,I can find a job easily after graduating the university .
I understood teacher’s mood. I am ashamed to the thing. I believe when seeing my attitude ,you can know I have a penitent attitude and I can correct this mistake. I promised this thing mustn’t happen again. I will be profound introspection .Finally ,I hope teacher can give me a chance to make up for my mistake .In the later days ,I will study even harder and want to continue to receive care and support of teacher .
In a word ,I really realized my mistake and sincerely hoped I can get your forgive .
Sincerely faithful,
Your student: Tian Chen

Dear counselor, miss li:
Today, I am sending you this apology with regret and regret. I think it's really inappropriate for me to skip class. I decided not to skip class. I hereby apologize to you for the apology.
Not long ago, I entered university, I should redouble my efforts in learning, but I failed to live up to the teachers, parents and students trust, I missed a good freshman study time.
Although I did not skip school to go home, but stayed on the road to play for a long time, because of May Day, I missed three days of study time. So I wasted all my precious study time, but I didn't really want to go to school.
As for my mistakes in skipping classes, I know the teachers are very angry. The teacher carefully prepared the class, are paid hard sweat. It's a great loss to my life.
Excuse me, counselor Li, I've made a serious mistake in principle this time. An error has occurred, so I must in the next period of time to make up for.

I admit most of the photos being circulated on the Internet were taken by me,but these photos were very private,and have not been shown to people,and were never intended to be shown to anyone. Their photos were stolen from me illegally,and distributed without my consent.There is no doubt whoever obtained these photos had been uploading them on the Internet with maliciousand deliberate intent.
This matter has intercalated to the extend that the society as a whole has been effected by this,and in this regard,I am deeply sad in it.

During my time away,I've made an important decision,I will wholeheartedly fulfill all commitments that I have to date,but after that,I've decided to step away from the Hong Kong entertainment industry,I've decided to do this to give myself an opportunity to heal myself and to search my soul.I will delicate my time to charity and community work within the next few months,I will be away from Hong Kong entertainment indefinitely,there is no time refrain.
I've be assisting to the police since the first day that the photos were published,and I will continue to assist them,after this press conf.,our obligations to help their investgation,and hope that this case can end soon,as everyone I think has the same wish.
I would like to use this opportunity to thank the police for their hard work on this case.Thank you.I believe everyone's priority now,my priority now,is to stop suffering the pain,for not letting this, we do not want to let this situation to be more out of control,we need to protect all the innocents and all the young for matters like this.In this regard,I've been instructing my lawyers to do everything possible within the law to protect all the innocent victims in this case.
I believe that the press today that been issued as we speak are what my lawyers had advised me to do.
Lastly,I would like to thank everyone for coming here today,and listening to what I have to say.I would like to also apologies once again to all the ladies and their families,my family,and to everyone in Hong Kong,and everyone in our society.I'm deeply in sad by this,and I apologies to everyone that had to go through this.I would like to also thank you for giving me this opportunity to say what I wanna to say all along in my heart.I hope after today,I can have your forgiveness.With regard to this case,with everything,everything that had happened,I'm deeply sorry.
