Dear smith,
I amparticularly glad to receive your invitation to talk about my paper. Anyway ,today , I am writing for the purpose of apologizing, because I have to cancel myplan.
Severaldays ago, I planned to visit you, but you know that during the past year, I wasexceedingly busy, since I devoted nearly all my time and energy to preparation forthe national entrance examination for postgraduate studies. Unfortunately , dueto my carelessness ,I did not find that the day for the test is just the date Iwanted to visit you. Thus , I have no choice but to cancel my plan.
Finally, I sincerely hope that you can forgive me and I will visit you after the examat your earliest convenience.
Yourssincerely
LiMing
亲爱的史密斯先生,
我非常高兴收到您邀请我讨论论文的邀请。然而,今天我写这封信的目的是为了道歉,因为我不得不取消原定的计划。
几天前,我计划去拜访您,但您也知道,在过去的一年里,我异常忙碌,几乎将所有的时间和精力都投入到研究生入学考试的准备中。不幸的是,由于我的疏忽,我没有注意到考试的日期正好是我原定拜访您的那天。因此,我别无选择,只能取消这次计划。
最后,我真诚地希望您能够原谅我,并希望在考试之后,能在您方便的时候再去拜访您。
此致
敬礼
李明
