2.道歉信
高分范文
Dear Mike,
I’m writing to express my heartfelt apology to you for not being able to climb the mountain with you this weekend as scheduled.
The reason why I cannot make it is that the school cultural festival will be organized next week. As the president of our students’ union, I'm fully occupied with the activity, which leaves not enough time for our outgoing. As a consequence, I have no choice but to break my promise. Would you mind if I suggest we meet up another time
I sincerely hope you can understand my situation and accept my apology.
Yours,
Li Hua

4. 参考范文
Dear Mr. Green,
I'm Li Hua, one of your students. I'm terribly sorry to say that I cannot attend your lecture on the theme of "Cultural Differences between Chinese and English".
The reason why I cannot make it is that I have just been informed that I need to take an exam tomorrow evening. Frankly speaking, I have a keen interest in cultural diversity. Therefore, I would appreciate it if you could provide me with a lecture DVD or some learning materials, which will enable me to study the course on my own.
Please forgive me for being unable to attend your lecture.
Yours,
Li Hua
