because of losing a borrowed book
dear frank:
i am terribly sorry to tell you that i have lost the valuable book you were so kind to lend me last week。 i read it everyday and intended to finish it next month。 last night when i came to my room， it was nowhere to be found。 i will try to recover it as soon as possible。 if i fail to find it， i will get a new book for you。
but i am afraid it can never take the place of the old one。 old books are like old friends。 once lost， they can never be replaced。 they are connected with cherished associations which the new ones can never have。 and for this irrecoverable loss， i am to blame。 i was so careless with my things。 this is a warning to me to be more careful in the future。
yours truly，
tom
親愛的弗蘭克：
很抱歉，上星期您借給我的那本書竟遺失了。我每一天都在看，準備下個月看完。昨晚我回到我的卧室，到處也找不到那本書。我將盡力找到它。萬一找不到，我只好買一本新的還您。
但是，新書恐怕不能代替那本舊書吧！舊書跟舊友一樣，一旦失去就不能再得。舊書與往事相連，這種不可彌補的損失，皆由我起。我對待一切太大意了，這次給我一個警告，叫我以後要留意。
Dear Mr. Smith,
I am indeed very sorry that I missed the examination on International Business English Writing you gave last Friday. I feel awful about it and want you to know what happened that day.
I suddenly fell sick early that morning and my parents had to send me to the hospital. Please find enclosed a copy of the medical bill.
I sincerely hope you can understand my situation and accept my apology. I would appreciate your allowing me to take a make-up examination. I will come to your office during your office hour on Monday to discuss this possibility with you.
Once again, I apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Ms Sciberras,
I would like to apologise for not returning the books but I have been away from school for a week because I had the measles. I will not be coming to school for another week or so. I promise I will return the books as soon as I am back.
Thank you.
Regards,
Anita Borg
It has already been one year. This year, we have been through happiness, pain, confusion and impressive. Yet, most of the happiness and impressive was brought by you, pain and confusion was brought by me. I confess that I had mixed thoughts during our date time. My attitude toward you was not proper. I made you do things that you don’t like. Even I knew that you are a sensitive girl, I still made you cry more than once. I was not a considerate boy for I disregarded your deep feelings.
Look back on that so called big problem. As the conflicts developed, the mountain climbing was the point that you broke out. What you said in the middle of the mountain truly hurt my feeling. Nevertheless, I deserved this. The reason that we broke up was due to my arbitrary behavior and casual attitude, which led us to this situation that make us awkward. Even now, we couldn’t greet each other as we did before.
Generally, it was all my fault. When I said this, I felt great guilty from the bottom of my broken heart. However, I was be to blamed for this.
What I really want to tell you is that I still miss you right now. I dreamed about you in my peaceful dream that is the happiest dream ever I thought. I tried to pretend to ignore you and be calm When I met you. But I couldn’t help glancing you for I want to know how you are going. Though I barely went to classroom, when I did, I would find where you sit. I can’t constrain my emotion.
But what if I changed my attitude ？ I just wondered if you could give me another chance to make up your broken heart that once was broken by me.
Yours sincerely,
Frank
Dear Jerry:
親愛的珍莉：
Hello! My best friend, we have not seen for a few weeks. A few days ago, I held a party in my house. There were a lot of friends coming to the party. We played games, sang popular songs and had a big meal. But I felt unhappy during the party, for I failed to invite my best friend, you. I write this letter to get your forgiveness for my mistake. I know you are fairly broad-minded.
你好！我最好的朋友，我們已經好幾個星期沒見過面了。前幾天，我在家裏舉行個一次聚會。有很多朋友前來參加聚會，我們一起玩遊戲，唱流行歌和吃大餐。但是，聚會之間我覺得不開心，因為我忘了通知我最好的朋友你。我寫這封信是想要你原諒我的失誤。我知道你是個胸懷寬廣的人。
To show my sincerity, I will have another party for you. It will be pleasant to invite you here. It is a good opportunity for you to meet many friends that you have not seen for a long time. The party will begin at seven o'clock on next Sunday evening in my house. Is it possible for you to come to the party? The party will not be complete without you. Wish to see you and get your forgiveness. If you have some good advises for the party, please write to me.
為了表示我的誠意，我會為你舉行另外一次聚會。能邀請你來參加是件很高興的事。這也是你見很久沒見的朋友的好機會。晚會將在下週日晚上七點開始，地點在我家。你能來參加晚會嗎？晚會缺了你就不完整了。希望能夠見到你並得到你的原諒。如果你對晚會有什麼好的建議請寫信告訴我。
Best wishes to you!
送你給最好的祝福！
Sincerely Yours,
Dear Miss Nancy,
Much to my regret I was unable to keep my promise to attend your birthday party last Saturday, owing to the fact that my little son was suddenly taken ill early that day.
Hoping to see you soon.
Truly yours,
Tom
