一篇英语道歉信(优秀20篇)

Dear Sir or Madam,

I’m writing this letter to apologize to you. I’m so sorry that we made a mistake about the shipment of vacuum cleaners.

Those vacuum cleaners we sent to you were meant to be sent to European countries, but as the old worker was retired, the new one wasn’t so experienced. Besides, the model number and the price of goods in March and July are so similar that the worker mistaken them.

I am awfully sorry for this and we promise you a replacement shipment. We will also give a 10% discount to compensate.

I do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you and I will try my best to avoid the same accident happening again.

Yours，

Eva

Dear Anne,

Thank you for your invitation to dinner at your home tomorrow evening. Unfortunately, it is much to my regret that I cannot join you and your family, because I will be fully occupied then for an important exam coming the day after tomorrow. I feel terribly sorry for missing the chance of such a happy get-together, and I hope that all of you enjoy a good time. Is it possible for you and me to have a private meeting afterward? If so, please dont hesitate to drop me a line about your preferable date. I do long for a pleasant chat with you.

Please allow me to say sorry again.

Regards,

Li Ming

Dear Bob,

Im writing to apologize for having forgotten to return the "the Beatles" CD to you when I left Canada,I was in such a hurry that I packed everything in my luggage without checking carefully.Had I paid more attention then,I wouldnt have made such a stupid mistake.

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.

Please let me know which solution you prefer at your earliest convenience.I really hope you will accept my sincere apology.

Faithfully yours,

I apologize for the behavior of our second-grade classes at the dress rehearsal of your excellent show. They were certainly disruptive, and I was only amazed at how well your actors managed to keep going, in spite of the noise.

Their teachers have spoken to them, and the children have prepared cards and pictures for the cast, to express their own apologies. Will you please pass these on to Mrs. Doe and the cast?

In the meantime, I think we have learned from this experience that our second-grade students are too young to sit through a full-length show.

We will exclude them in the future, if you open dress rehearsals to us again. Our older students and staff certainly appreciate your kindness in this area very much.

Dear John,

I am extremely sorry to tell you that I am unable to go to your party this Sunday. It is very kind of you to invite me to your house and I really look forward to going to your party and sharing your happy experience abroad.

Much to my regret, I will be absent from your party, owing to the fact that the College Entrance Exam, for which I am now really busy preparing, is just around the corner. Whats worse, I have caught a bad cold lately and I am really not myself. Anyway, we will have many more chances to get together. Shall we make it after the Exam? I am truly sorry. I hope you will forgive me and accept my sincere apology.

Enjoy yourself and wish your party a great success. Yours

Lihua

I apologize for the damage my son did to your screen door. John has delivered newspapers for two years and this is the first glass he has broken. He is embarrassed and understands your frustration. Will you please have the glass repaired and give me the bill.

John will be over to personally apologize and pay for the repairs. You have been a good customer for John, and he looks forward to serving you as long as he has this paper route.

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

dear linda,

i am excessively sorry to say that i had failed to keep the appointment that we made last friday.

now, i am writing you this letter of apology to show my deep regret.

please accept my sincere apology. i hope you will understand me and excuse me for my failure to turn up.the reason for my absence was that my mother fell ill at that time.

i had no way out because i had to send her to hospital and look after her.

therefore, it’s not in my power to meet you.naturally, i want to suggest that we should make another appointment next time.

i shall be obliged if you will kindly write and tell me when and where you will be at convenience.

we may meet again and i hope to see you soon.

Dear ______,

①I am truly sorry that ______(道歉的原因).

②The reason is that ______(介绍原因).

③Once again, I am sorry for any inconvenience caused. ④Hope you can accept my appologies and understand my situation.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Prof. Wang,

I’m writing to ask you to excuse me for not being able to keep our appointment. I do know that this is very impolite and must have caused you much trouble.

I do reckon that at present any explanation is pale and futile. However I do not want you to misunderstand me. On my way to your office, an old lady suddenly fainted due to heart attack on the bus. I stopped a taxi and sent her into a nearby hospital. I stayed there until her son came, which spoiled our appointment.

I am aware that our appointment is of importance. I do hope that you would be kind enough to spare your valuable to meet me.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely Yours

Practical Writing-Notes of Apology

Monday, March 15

Dear Professor Martin,

I enjoy your class very much. But Im very sorry that I had to miss your class last Thursday. Unfortunately my roommate became ill and I had to take him to the hospital. Please let me know what I can do to make up the class. I know you prefer for us to let you know in advance when we will be absent, but there was no time to do so.

I hope youll accept my sincere apology.

Your student,

I feel terrible about the damage John did to your garden. Being a gardener myself, I realize how much work you put into making it productive. I know I would be displeased if someone were to run carelessly through my carefully planted tomatoes.

John feels bad about what he did, and although he cannot repair the damage, he says he wants to compensate you by doing yard work for you this fall. If you agree, I think this would be a good lesson for John.

Dear Sarah,

I am terribly sorry to tell you that I am unable to attend your birthday party next Thursday evening. That is owing to(因为) the fact that (同位语从句)my younger brother suddenly fell ill and was taken to a hospital this morning. I have to go there immediately and take care of him. As told by the doctor in charge, it will take around five days for him to recover and I have asked my boss for a leave.

I really regret that I cannot go to celebrate your birthday personally and would miss the perfect chance of enjoying myself with all our old friends. I have chosen a small gift for you and will send it to you tomorrow to show my best wishes. Besides, please give my regards to our friends when you meet them at the party.

Cordially, (sincerely)

Li Hua

Dear Customer,

I would like to apologize for the delay in delivering your order. I have looked into the matter and found that it resulted from a problem in our distribution department. We have now resolved this problem and your order has been shipped out today by express delivery at no extra cost to you. You should receive them in 2 days.

Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience we have caused you and your customers.

Yours sincerely

Dear Friends,

Please accept my sincere apology for the inconvenience that I caused you by adding the extra visiting without your permission.

I had no intention of intruding on your personal life. In China, arranging interesting leisure activities for visitors is a common way to show welcome. However, as your receptionist, I should have realized that you are inclined to regard your private time as an inviolable treasure and hate to be harassed by unplanned matters.

I’m really sorry that I didn’t check with you before making such incomsiderate arrangement .All I can say is that it won’t happen again.

Sincerely, LiLi

Dear Sir,

I am writing to apologize for the bad performance of the washing machine you bought from our department store. I do hope(希望的语气可以稍微强烈一点) you can accept my sincere apologies.

In fact, the mistake is due to our ignorance(万能开头，啥错误不是失误呀). The manufacturer of the washing machine has cooperated(完成时要注意。) with us for ten years, and never made(过去没有犯过错误，现在有了) a mistake like this, then we did not double check the product.(自己还是有责任的) I want you to know that your trust is very important to us, so we will send(解决方案是将来时) an employee to take the machine back and give you a full refund.

Once again, I am sorry for any inconvenience caused by it, and hope you can accept the apologies.(再次道歉)

Dearest mother,

How are you and dad doing? I hope my letter will ease the disappointment you must be feeling after I called you to say that I will not be able to go home for Christmas holidays.

I am so sorry to miss the family dinner on Christmas eve this year. I have a ton of requirements to finish before the year ends and I could not afford to have a vacation this year.

I will simply spend Christmas eve with friends here and then go back to the college campus to work on my project and other documents I must submit on the first week of January.

Dont worry, this is but a small sacrifice for us to make so that I finish my studies soon. I know you will be delighted come graduation day and I will do my best to graduate with honors. I will miss you all!

Love,

Oliver
