缺席会议的道歉信一

　　December 15, xx

　　Dear Mary,

　　I am very sor

　　ry that I was out when you came to see me yesterday afternoon. The fact is that I had an engagement with some friends and, ignorant of your visit, accompanied them to the cinema. Not until nine oclock in the evening did I come back. You must have been disappointed by my absence.

　　I hope you will not leave the city this week. I will call on you on Friday afternoon at four o??clock. As this is the first time you come to Beijing, I will take you to some places that may interest you. Please wait for me in your hotel at the appointed time.

　　Yours truly,

　　Xiao Cheng

　　Dear Mr. Clark,

　　I would like to express my apologies for not being able to keep our 9 o??clock appointment. I had a small accident on my way to school. I will come over to your apartment the day after tomorrow ― Monday, November 2, at 9 a.m. if that is convenient for you. I will check my mailbox tomorrow to see if you have left a note for me. Otherwise, I will see you at nine, Monday morning. With many apologies.
