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
Chen Cheng

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 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 ,
I am terribly sorry to tell you that i have lost the valuable book you , 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.
Yours ,

Dear ,
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 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,
