An Apology for Not Keeping an Appointment
July 24, 199___
Dear Alan,
I'm writing to apologize about last Thursday. I am terribly sorry that I didn't go to see you, for I lost my wallet. Anyway, I found it. But it was too late for the train. I had to take the bus. What a pity that I took a wrong one. It went to Milford. There, I waited for half an hour for a bus to Driffield. It was much worse that on the way to your home, the bus broke down. So I just went back home to Pigston. I really do apologize because I didn't speak to you on the phone, but it wasn't my fault. I tried several times, but there was no answer.
Anyway, how about next Thursday?
Love,
Tom
【写法指要】
1）这是一封私人信件。私人书信一般不写信内地址和信头里的地址，但是信头里的日期不能省去。
2）致歉信应包括三个部分：①道歉（apology）；②叙述原因或问题（reason or problem）；③后果及解决办法（consequence and solution）。
3）私人书信，尤其是亲属间和朋友间的信件属于非正式书信，所以要用非正式文体来写；就是说信文中可以出现缩约形式，如“I'm writing”，“didn't”等，也可以用像“phone”这类非正式词语。句法结构简短，随便。
