1.认错，道歉，解释原因； 2.许诺以后一定守时； 3.请求原谅。
Dear Dylan,
I am writing to convey my sincere apology to you for not being punctual yesterday.
I was supposed to pick you up at the bus station at 10 a.m. But so careless was I that I forgot to take the busy traffic into consideration. As a result, I unfortunately got caught up in a terrible traffic jam and failed to arrive there on time. However, it shouldn’t be my excuse and you have every right to be angry with me.
I promise that anything like this won’t happen once again. Again, I am excessively sorry about what have happened. I would truly appreciate it if you could kindly forgive me.

I am indeed sorry to tell you that I won’t be able to attend the lecture on English history tomorrow afternoon. My grandmother suddenly fell ill and was taken to hospital last night. I am afraid that I will have to take care of her these days.
However, I am actually very interested in English society and history. I wonder if it is possible for the talk to be recorded, and if so, could I borrow the tape It would mean a great deal to me to listen to the tape and learn what is covered in the talk.
Please allow me to say sorry again. I sincerely hope that you will be able to understand my situation and accept my apology.
Sincerely,
Li Hua
