英语道歉信

　　【道歉信一】

　　Dear John,

　　I am eagerly looking forward to your visit to our city. After all these years of writing to each other, I can not wait to see you. However, I regret to inform you that I will not be able to meet you at the airport on time.

　　The reason is that your flight will arrive early in the morning, and the earliest I can reach the airport will be about an hour after you land. Will you please wait for me in the arrival lounge? You can have breakfast while you wait.

　　By the way, as we have never met I must tell you home to identify me: I am of 165cm tall and have a long hair. In addition, I will wear a white skirt and carry a China Daily at hand.

　　Hope we can meet soon.

　　Sincerely yours,

　　Alice

　　亲爱的约翰：

　　我非常期待着你来参观我们的城市。这么多年来我们一直通信，我早就想见到你了。但是很抱歉我不能按时到机场接你。

　　因为你的飞机是一大早就到达机场，而我最早也要1小时后才能到。你能不能在旅客休息室等我，你可以利用这段时间吃早饭。

　　随便说一句，因为我们没过面，我得告诉你怎么找我：我大概1.65米，长发。另外我会穿一件白色的裙子，手上拿一份中国日报。

　　希望早点见到你。

　　你真挚的：艾丽丝

　　【道歉信二】

　　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.

　　Please allow me to say sorry again.

　　Regards,

　　Li Ming

　　亲爱的安：

　　感谢你邀请我于明日晚上与你和你的.家人共进午餐。可是，我非常遗憾地告诉你我无法赴约，因为我将忙于准备后天的一门重要考试。错过了这么一个欢乐的聚会我深感遗憾，我希望你们能度过一个愉快的时光。对了，在我考试后我们可以见一面么?如果可以的话请随时给我打电话，我非常期待能和你愉快地聊天。

　　请允许我再一次致歉。

　　您真诚的，李明

　　【道歉信三】

　　Dear Friends,

　　Please accept my sincere apology for the inconvenience that I caused you by adding the extra visiting without your permission.

　　I had no intention of intruding on your personal life. In China, arranging interesting leisure activities for visitors is a common way to show welcome. However, as your receptionist, I should have realized that you are inclined to regard your private time as an inviolable treasure and hate to be harassed by unplanned matters.

　　I’m really sorry that I didn’t check with you before making such incomsiderate arrangement .All I can say is that it won’t happen again.

　　Sincerely,

　　LiLi

　　【道歉信四】

　　Dear Mr. Smith,

　　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,

　　Wang Hua

　　【道歉信五】

　　Dear Charlie,

　　Kindly 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
