Dear Susan,
Im very sorry that I was out when you came to see me yesterday evening. Im afraid Id gone to the pub with some friends and didnt get back until 12 oclock. 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 oclock on Saturday morning at your hotel. We can have the day together, if you have nothing else planned? Ill 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,
Im very sorry for not having replied to your July 6th letter sooner. When your letter
arrived, I was in Beijing. As my secretary couldnt 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 Mr. Sherry,
I am indeed very sorry that I missed the examination on International Business English Writing you gave last Friday. I feel awful about it and want you to know what happened that day.
I suddenly fell sick early that morning and my parents had to send me to the hospital. Please find enclosed a copy of the medical bill.
I sincerely hope you can understand my situation and accept my apology. I would appreciate your allowing me to take a make-up examination. I will come to your office during your office hour on Monday to discuss this possibility with you.
Once again, I apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Sincerely yours,
Zoe
