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 Pferable date. I do long for a pleasant chat with you.
Please allow me to say sorry again.
Regards,
Li Ming

【篇二】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

【篇三】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

親愛的朋友們,
為給您帶來的不便,請(qǐng)接受我真誠的道歉,我讓你通過添加額外的訪問未經(jīng)您的許可。
我無意打擾你的個(gè)人生活。在中國,為游客安排有趣的休閑活動(dòng)是一種常見的方式表達(dá)歡迎。然而,隨著你的接待員,我應(yīng)該意識(shí)到,你傾向于把你的私人時(shí)間作為一個(gè)不可侵犯的寶藏,不愿意被計(jì)劃外事項(xiàng)騷擾。
我真的很抱歉,我沒有檢查w

我真的很抱歉,我錯(cuò)過了考試你給上周五在國際商務(wù)英語寫作。我感覺很糟糕,想讓你知道那天到底發(fā)生了什么事。

【篇五】Dear Charlie,

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 Psent at the airport.

【篇六】
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
