给朋友的英文道歉信格式一
Dear John,
I do appologize for not being able to pick you up at the railway station.I was late that evening and drove very fast to railway station to avoid missing you.I made nearly 50 mile per hour at the road with a speed limit of 30 mph.I was unlacky to be caught by a police.I tried very hard to explain to him that I urgently needed to go to the railway station to pick up a friend from Australia.He still didn't let me go untill put down all my details and issued a penalty ticket to me,which took 30 minutes.When I got the railway station,I could not see you and assumed you must have gone to a hotel.I am very sorry for all this and not being able to inform you about what happened to me.
I hope you can accept my appology and have a nice time in China.

给朋友的英文道歉信格式二
Dear Bob,
写作目的：I’m writing to apologize for having forgotten to return the “the Beatles” CD to you when I left Canada.
改写提纲一 ：I was in such a hurry that I packed everything in my luggage without checking carefully. Had I paid more attention then, I wouldn’t have made such a stupid mistake.
改写提纲二：Now something must be done to solve the problem because I understand you cherish the CD enormously. I can either send it to you by express mail or alternatively compensate you at a reasonable price. If you do not mind, I may bring it back to you next time I go to Canada.
期待回信：Please let me know which solution you prefer at your earliest convenience. I really hope you will accept my sincere apology.
Faithfully yours,
Li Ming

亲爱的鲍勃，
我从加拿大回来后收拾行李时突然发现了你上周向你借的音乐CD，这才明白我忘记将CD归还给你了，我感到万分抱歉!很抱歉你现在不能听了。
我向你借的CD是加拿大的，所以你应该可以在当地商店买到另外一个。所以你能不能自己买一个，我把钱寄给你?如果你找不到另外一个类似的CD了，我就用特快专递把这个CD寄回去。如果有你喜欢的其他方案，请告知我。
再次为我的粗心道歉。期待你的回复。
真诚的，
李明
