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,
【译文 】

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,
【道歉信四】

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
【道歉信六】
Dear Sarah,
I am terribly sorry to tell you that I am unable to attend your birthday part next Thursday evening. That is owing to the fact that my younger brother suddenly fell ill and was taken to a hospital this morning. I have to go there immediately and take care of him. As told by the doctor in charge, it will take around five days for him to recover and I have asked my boss for a leave.
I really regret that I cannot go to celebrate your birthday personally and would miss the perfect chance of enjoying myself with all our old friends. I have chosen a small gift for you and will send it to you tomorrow to show my best wishes. Besides, please give my regards to our friends when you meet them at the party.
Cordially,
Li Ming
