Answer 1

【答案】Dear Alexander,

I’m writing to say sorry to you because with an important appointment to attend, I may be a little late for your gathering this Saturday evening.

As arranged a week ago, this Saturday evening, the very time for your gathering, I, together with several of my friends, will visit my teacher who taught us English for three years in junior school. I will try my best to get to your gathering as early as possible, but I may still be a little late. I’d appreciate it if you could accept my sincerest apology.

Yours truly,

Li Hua
