unable to return borrowed book on time
dear kate:
excuse me for my long delaying in returning to you your “robinson crusoe” which i read through with great interest。 i had finished reading the book and was about to return it when my cousin came to see me。 never having seen the book， she was so interested in it that i had to retain it longer。 however， i hope that in view of the additional delight thus afforded by your book， you will overlook my negligence in not returning it sooner。
thanking you again for the loan。
sincerely yours，
tom

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.

Dear Ms Winston,
亲爱的温斯顿女士：
The purpose of this is to convey to you my sincere apologies for any inconvenience you may have experience last month with respect to the installation of your Internet high speed service.
我的目的是向您表示诚挚的歉意，对于您在上个月安装互联网高速服务时可能遇到的任何不便。
I just returned from vacation this week and found your file in my in-basket. As soon as I reviewed your case it was clear that somehow your Jau. 20th request for a change in service had somehow slipped through the cracks. The only possible explanation I can give is that we have recently had a number of key staff changes, which might have resulted in your letter being overlooked.
我刚从这个假期回来，发现你的文件在我的篮子里。我一看你的案子，就知道你的JAU了。第二十要求改变服务的方式不知怎么地从裂缝中溜走了。我能给出的唯一可能的解释是，我们最近发生了一些关键的员工变动，这可能导致您的信被忽略。
Consequently, I have directed our installation group to contact you by the end of this week to set up a time convenient to you when they could go to your house and install your new router and make the necessary adjustments to your software.
因此，我已指示我们的安装小组在本周末之前与您联系，以便为您安排一个方便的时间，以便他们能够去您家安装您的新路由器，并对您的软件进行必要的调整。
Because of this serious oversight, and as a testament to our appreciation of you as out customer , we are going to provide you with your first three months of high speed service for free charge. There fore, your account will not be billed until June of this year.
由于这次的严重疏忽，作为我们对您作为我们的客户的感谢的证明，我们将免费为您提供头三个月的高速服务。因此，您的帐户将不会计费到今年六月。
Ms. Winston, let me assure you that what happened in your case is not typical of CableNet's level of customer service. We continue to be committed to providing you and all of our customers with the highest standards of service in the industry.
温斯顿女士，让我向你保证，在你的情况下发生的事情不典型的CableNet的客户服务水平。我们将继续致力于为您和我们所有的客户提供最高的服务标准。
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to call me.
如果你有任何问题，请不要犹豫，123456点钟打电话给我。
Yours in service

亲爱的大卫，
我写这封信是为了对你丢失借给我的书表示诚挚的歉意。非常感谢你借给我。为了尽快还给你，我昨天把它带到图书馆了。我离开前还在图书馆借了一些其他的书。不幸的是，当我到达我的宿舍时，我找不到你的书。我搜遍了我所有的宿舍，还有从宿舍到图书馆的路。第二天我也找了图书馆。然而，我找不到你的书。很抱歉，我不能像以前承诺的那样按时还给你。但是我以后会给你买新的。希望你能接受我的道歉。
我写这封信是为了对丢失你借给我的书表示诚挚的歉意。我很感激你借给我这本书。为了尽快把书还给你，我昨天把它带到图书馆了。我离开图书馆之前还借了一些图书馆的书。可惜回到宿舍发现你的书不见了。我搜了宿舍，还有从宿舍到图书馆的路。第二天我也去了图书馆。但是，我会死，找不到你的书。很抱歉，我不能遵守我的诺言，按时把书还给你。但是我以后会给你买一个新的。我希望你能接受我的道歉。
你真诚的，
李雷
亲爱的弗兰克:
我非常抱歉地告诉你，我把你上周好心借给我的那本珍贵的书弄丢了。我每天都读，打算下个月读完。昨晚当我来到我的房间时，它不见了。我会努力尽快恢复。如果我找不到它，我会给你买一本新书。
但恐怕它永远无法取代旧的。旧书如老友。一旦失去，就永远无法替代。它们与珍贵的联想联系在一起，而新的联想是永远不会有的。对于这种无法挽回的损失，我应该受到责备。我对我的东西太粗心了。这是给我的一个警示，以后要多加小心。
你的真心
汤姆
Hello, this may not be the first time I have written to you. But I think it's the first time to write an apology letter. In fact, now I have a lot of things to think about, you say, however, these words, and I am embarrassed to speak in person, or on the phone, so I think, or again in this way, say my heart.
In fact, there is nothing special, just thank you for giving me everything, I think I have you in my life, really make me very happy, very happy, very happy. Well, I've said so much about the point today. Actually, I want to say "sorry" to you. I think you also know why, just because you called yesterday. After I finished the phone yesterday, I felt very sorry and regretted my attitude. My mood will certainly affect your mood. So, I hope you'll forgive me. Say "I'm sorry" again.
In my eyes, you are the best parents in the world. Everything you've done for me is so perfect, so perfect. You can be one of TOP's parents. However, such good parents make them feel bad because their children are in a bad mood for the moment. I feel particularly ashamed and ashamed.
Last night I had a dream and dreamt that my father would come to see me. I can just return home. But our ticket wasn't the same day. I came home before my father. Then we went to the airport when I was boarding, a customs man put away what Dad said, visa issues, go and do not let me accompany. Then I put the ticket change to see what was going on. I've been waiting outside for a long time and haven't heard from me. I'll call him. He said he was already done, and that there was nothing but a routine check. I asked him why he hadn't told me earlier, and he said he was mad at me because I made him feel bad, so he didn't tell me.
You've been with me for 20 years now, you've given me a lot of fun and a good time. When I grow up, you grow old. In spite of this, you are always young in my heart. Glad to have your parents, thousands of words can not express my gratitude and thanks.
Finally, let you say sorry again. I know you won't be angry with me, or something else. But I must say these three words. There are four words to say to you: "I love you."!
你们好!这也许不是我第一次给你们写信了。但是，道歉信我想还是第一次写吧。其实现在的我有很多话想好你们说，然而，这些话又是我不好意思当面讲或者是在电话里讲的，所以，我想想还是再次以这种方式来说说我的心里话。
其实，也没有什么特别的事情，无非就是谢谢你们给予我的一切，我觉得我的生活里有你们真的让我很开心，很快乐，很幸福。好了，说了这么多，要说到今天的重点了，其实我想和你们说一句对不起!!我想你们也知道为什么，就是因为昨天打电话的事情。昨天打完电话之后，我觉得很后悔，后悔自己的态度。我的心情也肯定影响到了你们的心情。所以，希望你们原谅我。再次说一声对不起。
在我眼里，你们是世界上最好的父母。你们为我所做的一切都是那么的无可挑剔，那么完美无瑕。你们可以说是TOP父母之一。然而，这么好的父母却因为他们的孩子的一时心情不好，让他们也因此而心情不好。我觉得特别的惭愧和羞愧。
昨天晚上做了一个梦，梦到老爸来这边看我。刚好我也可以回国。但是我们的机票不是同一天，我比老爸先回国。然后我们一起到了机场，在我登机的时候，一个海关的人把老爸叫走，说什么签证有问题，就走了并且不让我陪。后来我就把机票改签先看看到底怎么回事。我在外面等了很久，一直没有音讯。我就给他打电话。他说其实他早就完事了，也没有什么事情，只是一些例行检查。我问他为什么不在早点告诉我，他说因为我让他心情不好，生我气了所以不告诉我。
你们陪伴我左右已经20个年头了!你们给了我很多的快乐和幸福的时光。我长大了，你们却老了。尽管这样，你们在我心里永远年轻。很庆幸能有你们这么的父母，千言万语也道不尽我的感激和感谢。
最后，再次让你们说一声对不起!我知道你们不会生我气，后或者是其他的什么。但是我一定要说出这三个字。还有四个字要和你们说，：我爱你们!
亲爱的鲍勃，
我；我写这封信是为了为忘记归还而道歉。甲壳虫乐队CD给你当我离开加拿大的时候，我太匆忙了，没有仔细检查就把所有东西都打包在行李里了。如果我当时多加注意，我就不会& # 39；我没有犯这样愚蠢的错误。
现在必须采取措施解决这个问题，因为我知道你非常珍惜裁谈会。我可以用快递寄给你，也可以用合理的价格补偿你。如果你不介意，下次我去加拿大时，我可以把它还给你。
请尽早让我知道你喜欢哪种解决方案。我真的希望你能接受我真诚的道歉。
你忠实的，
李明
