Directions: Suppose that Sarah, a friend of yours, has invited you to her birthday party, but you cannot go for some reason. Write a letter in about 100 words to make an apology to her. Do not sign your own name at the end of your letter, using “Li Ming” instead.
【經典範文】
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

Directions: Suppose you cannot see your younger brother off at the airport as expected for some reason. Write a letter in about 100 words to make an apology to him. Do not sign your own name at the end of your letter, using “Li Ming” instead.
【經典範文】
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. 1
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

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

親愛的約翰：
我非常期待著你來參觀我們的城市。這麼多年來我們一直通訊，我早就想見到你了。但是很抱歉我不能按時到機場接你。
因為你的飛機是一大早就到達機場，而我最早也要1小時後才能到。你能不能在旅客休息室等我，你可以利用這段時間吃早飯。
隨便說一句，因為我們沒過面，我得告訴你怎麼找我：我大概1.65米，長髮。另外我會穿一件白色的裙子，手上拿一份中國日報。
希望早點見到你。
你真摯的：艾麗絲

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.

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

如果您能再給一週時間來完成它我將感激不盡，因為現在我的身體正在好轉。
希望您能理解我的處境並接受我的道歉。
您真誠的，

美國政府關於撞機事件的致歉信（英文）
中新網北京4月11日訊息：以下是美國駐華大使普理赫，今日下午就撞機事件遞交給中國外長唐家璇的信件英文全文。
Dear Mr Minister,
On behalf of the United States Government, I now outline steps to resolve this issue.
Both President Bush and Secretary of State Powell have expressed their sincere regret over your missing pilot and aircraft. Please convey to the Chinese people and to the family of pilot Wang Wei that we are very sorry for their loss. Although the full picture of what transpired is still unclear, according to our information, our severely crippled aircraft made an emergency landing after following international emergency procedures. We are very sorry the entering of China's airspace and the landing did not have verbal clearance, but very pleased the crew landed safely.
We appreciate China's efforts to see to the well-being of our crew. In view of the tragic incident and based on my discussions with your representatives, we have agreed to the following actions:
Both sides agree to hold a meeting to discuss the incident. My government understands and expects that our air crew will be permitted to depart China as soon as possible.
The meeting would be April 18, 2001.
The meeting agenda would include discussions of the causes of the incident, possible recommendations whereby such collisions could be avoided in the future, development of a plan for prompt return of the EP-3 aircraft, and other related issues. We acknowledge your government's intention to raise U.S. reconnaissance missions near China in the meeting.
Sincerely
Joseph W. Prueher

菲律賓年輕人的一封道歉信
As you are reading this letter, I bet that you have seen/heard about what happened earlier in our country.
Tourists were hostages of a policeman here, Rolando Mendoza. After a few hours of the horrible crime, some of the victims were dead including the hostage-taker.
I wrote this letter not just to apologize but also to let everyone know that we Filipinos are not all like Mendoza. We are loving and good-hearted people.
For so many years, our country has been standing tall and surpassing every dilemma; be it small or big. Years ago (back when I wasn’t born yet), you have watched us fight for what we think is right. We fought for the democracy of our nation.. The EDSA revolution. But that’s just one out of many.
Second. We Filipinos have been serving other countries for our families and we treat you as our own as well. With all due respect, I thank you all for giving us the trust through the years. For helping us to become what we are now.
The Philippines is more than just a group of islands. We are a nation of strong and remarkable people. A country of beauty and love known to be hospitable and well-valued. I humbly apologize for what happened tonight. No one in this world would want something like that to happen for life should be valued.
I politely ask the attention of the world. Please do not judge and mistreat us just
because of what happened tonight. I have been searching the net and found terrible things. Hong Kong advices to avoid travels here, China and HK bans Filipinos and that Philippines is the worst place to go.
I can’t blame you for what you have decided but I hope that you could understand. Our country is now in a sea of problems. And I know for sure that we helped you in a way or another. Let peace and understanding reign this time.
I know that this letter will just be trash but I wish that you would understand. On behalf of the Philippine population.. WE ARE SORRY.
As a song puts it…
And I believe that in my life I will see an end to hopelessness, giving-up and suffering. And we all stand together this one time then no one will get left behind. Stand up for life. STAND UP FOR LOVE
Sincerely yours,
Reigno Jose Dilao
既然你在讀著這封信，我想你一定看過或者聽說過早前在我的祖國發生的事情。 遊客們被警-察Rolando Mendoza當作人質。可怕的罪行持續一段時間後，一些人質死了，而劫匪Mendoza也被擊斃。
我寫這封信，不僅僅是為了道歉，也是為了讓所有人知道，我們菲律賓人並不都是Mendoza。我們是充滿愛並且熱心的人民。
許多年來，我們的國家曾經挺立於世，經歷了所有，無論大或者小的困境。數十年前（回到我還沒出生的時候），你看過我們為了我們所認同的真理而戰鬥。我們是為了自己國家的民主而奮戰......像EDSA起義。但那只是我們許多努力中的一部分。
其次，我們菲律賓人為了我們的家庭一直在為其他國家服務，我們對待你們如同對待自己的家人。冒昧的說，我感謝你們所有人這麼多年來信任我們，幫助我們成為今天的菲律賓人。
菲律賓不僅僅由一些島嶼組成。我們的民族是一個由堅強，卓越的人們組成的民族。我們的`國家是一個美麗好客，價值非凡的國家。我謙卑地為昨晚發生的事情道歉。世界上沒有人會希望類似的事情發生在寶貴無價的生命上面。
我誠懇地請求全世界注意。請不要只因為昨晚發生的事件就武斷地判定和誤解我們。我在網路上搜尋後發現了一些很糟糕的事情。香港政府建議不要來這裡旅遊，中國大陸和香港對菲律賓頒佈禁令，菲律賓變成了最不該去的地方。
我不能因為你所決定的而責怪你，但我希望你理解。我們的國家現在正處於無數問題之中。我也肯定我們在某方面幫助過你們。讓和平與諒解統領這個時刻。 我知道這封信將會被丟棄，但我祈求你會理解。我以菲律賓人的名義說出，我們，很抱歉。
正如一首歌唱的一樣......
我相信在我的生命中我將會看到絕望，放棄，折磨迎來盡頭。這一次我們所有人都會站在一起，沒人會被落下。為了生命而站出來，為了愛站出來。 你真誠的，
Reigno Jose Dilao
