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.
Sincerely yours,
Dear Miss ,
I’m your student Tian Chen. Today I’m writing this letter to apologize for my absenteeism in your class with the mood of repentant and ashamed. I have already known my mistake and promised that it will never ever happen again.
When I got my steps into this campus, you and other teachers warned us have to attend classes on time and there was not allowed absenting. Meanwhile I also was told that if I really have any reasonable reasons I suppose to ask for leave first. Only after I got permission can I be out of the class. I have to explain why I was out this time. One of my friends came to visit me. That friend is someone who I really care about somehow lost touch with me for quite a long time. When he arrived here was the time happen to you class began. I chose to give up that class because I can’t wait to meet him after the class as well as in my opinion there is no need to ask for leave to you just for that inadequate excuse. Even though I did that with deep compunction I still did that. That’s why the letter came to you: I’m showing my introspection of making such this mistake!
I do apologize for my absenteeism. The mistake I made run counter to my principals. I know you are angry with me. I’m so sorry to disappoint you. Moreover, as a student, to attend every class without any stupid excuses is our liability and I didn’t perform the responsibility of being a student. After that I thought for a long time and it’s going to my time to pay the price for my impulsion. I have deadly wrong information in my mind which includes three reasons:
First of all is that I don’t have much thought consciousness. If I really interested in this class would I will be absent? Definitely not. I should focus on study more meanwhile value the resources available for us right now. We will not have any classes like in campus when we go into society. How can we despise the precious chances!
Secondly, lack of respect to either you or this class which is cannot be forgiven. From now on I going to show more respect to you and the knowledge as well as pay more attention to important affairs. The lazy in my body have to be gotten rid of.
The last one is that I made a bad influence upon other students. If everyone could be absent to the class then the situation will be out of control. There is no more discipline, no more regulation, will absolutely disturb the normal instructing.
Above all, I already aware it’s a severe mistake. I promise I will behave myself much better in the future and completely eradicate this kind of things happen again. Please forgive me this time and trust me in my future!
Sincerely faithful,
Your student: Tian Chen

Dear Charlie,
indly 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. How I wish I could have the chance to share with you my personal feelings and suggestions before you are away! I hereby send you a gift to wish you good luck. Please forgive me.
Cordially,
Li Ming
