Dear Charlie, I am terribly sorry that I cannot keep my promise to see you off at the airport this Saturday. Our company’s key partner is going to an important meeting in Xiamen this weekend. My boss has selected me to go with him to discuss a new deal. I just found out about this and am quite pleased with the choice. It is a great chance to show and improve my skills. Therefore, I am afraid I will not be able to make it to the airport. Studying abroad is a crucial step toward achieving your dreams. I really wish I could share my thoughts and advice with you before you leave. I am sending you a present to wish you good luck. Please forgive me. Yours sincerely, Li Ming

Dear Sarah, I feel truly awful having to inform you that I can’t make it to your birthday celebration next Thursday night. The reason is that my little brother suddenly got sick this morning and had to be rushed to the hospital. I need to head there right away to look after him. According to the doctor in charge, he’ll need about five days to get better, so I’ve requested time off from work. I’m really sorry I can’t be there to celebrate with you and miss the fun of hanging out with all our old friends. I’ve picked out a small present for you and will mail it to you tomorrow to send my warmest wishes. Also, please say hello to our friends for me when you see them at the party. Best regards, Li Ming

Dear David, I fear you might consider my failure to reply to your December 7th letter sooner as an unforgivable oversight. However, once I explain the situation, I believe you will agree that my delay was understandable. When your mail reached me, I was actually in Hong Kong. Because my family couldn’t send it to me while I was away, it remained on my desk until I finally got a chance to handle it. Right now, my first priority is to pen these few words to convey my sincere apologies. I had a wonderful time seeing many beautiful places during my journey. I would be delighted to share the details with you when we meet next. Sincerely yours, Tom

Dear John, I’m really excited about our upcoming trip to your city. After all this time exchanging letters, I can hardly wait to finally meet you. Unfortunately, I’m sorry to say that I won’t be able to catch you at the airport on schedule. Since your flight lands very early, I won’t get there until roughly an hour after your arrival. Could you please wait for me in the arrival hall? You might want to grab some breakfast while you’re there. Also, since we haven’t met before, let me describe myself so you can spot me easily: I’m 165 centimeters tall with long hair. I’ll be wearing a white skirt and holding a copy of China Daily. I hope we can meet soon. Sincerely yours, Alice
