Dear Prof. Patent,
I am very sorry to inform you that I did not manage to complete the book report you assigned last week, due to a sudden illness falling upon me a few days ago. For the past few days I have been in hospital with a continuous fever, which has thus prevented me from any academic activity. I hereby submit the doctor's note.
I would be very much obliged if you could grant me another week for the task, as my health is turning better.
Hope you can understand my situation and accept my apology.
Yours faithfully,
Li Ming
Dear Mr. Li
It has been brought to my attention that upon checking in at China World Hotel on Jun 2, 1999 Your experience was one of difficulty.
I would like to express my sincere apologies for the poor attitude of our receptionist when she advised you of the error in your reservation. there is simply no excuse in her behavior as I assure you that the necessary action gas been taken to rectify the lack of service you should have receive.
Unfortunately there was an error in your reservation regarding your arrival date. I am unable to identify where the oversight originated through my investigation however I regret that you were inconvenienced.
Mr. Li, I do hope that I can assure you that your negative experience was an isolated incident, I look forward to welcoming you back in very near future so that we can restore your confidence in the product and service of Shangri-La China World Hotel. Please do not hesitate to contact me directly in business or pleasure bring you back to Beijing.
Sincerely,

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
