dear linda,
i am excessively sorry to say that i had failed to keep the appointment that we made last friday. now, i am writing you this letter of apology to show my deep regret. please accept my sincere apology. i hope you will understand me and excuse me for my failure to turn up.
the reason for my absence was that my mother fell ill at that time. i had no way out because i had to send her to hospital and look after her. therefore, it’s not in my power to meet you.
naturally, i want to suggest that we should make another appointment next time.,i shall be obliged if you will kindly write and tell me when and where you will be at convenience.
we may meet again and i hope to see you soon.
yours sincerely,
li ming

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.
I am so sorry about that I didn't visit you yesterday. I am expectting you can forgive me . Yesterday, my friend LiHong got a bad cold , and nobody can take care of her .So I have to look after her and not have time to meet you .But i belive you can make sense of me . Because I am losed a important appointment ,I feel very sad. Can we have another meet ? I want to study from you very much.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Dear Anne,
Thank you for your invitation to dinner at your home tomorrow evening. Unfortunately, it is much to my regret that I cannot join you and your family, because I will be fully occupied then for an important exam coming the day after tomorrow. I feel terribly sorry for missing the chance of such a happy get-together, and I hope that all of you enjoy a good time. Is it possible for you and me to have a private meeting afterward? If so, please don't hesitate to drop me a line about your preferable date. I do long for a pleasant chat with you.
When I leave the classroom without permission, I found that I made a big mistake. I did not wait until the teacher came, went to eat. This is a lack of respect for the teacher. When I was young, my parents hope I can respect the teacher and classmates, but I did not do this point. I'm rude and arrogant behavior let you received distress. I hope you can give me a chance to start with a clean slate, after all, we are your most loving students. Think carefully, these days I do have some confused, make these bad things, and again I am sorry. I promise I won't do such a thing.
Your student Victor
