Dear Sirs,
In a month I will graduate from….high school in china, where I obtained a three-year fantastic and sounded foundation in every course, especial in Chinese and English. Throughout my studies，however， I showed great interest in psychology, a study closely related to sociology. I find this subject so fascinating that I have made up my mind to consider it my life’s pursuit. That’s why I am applying for admission to your University to do an undergraduate course in psychology.
I should be most grateful if you would consider my application as soon as possible.
Thank you for your time.（98 words）

Dear Mr. Radian
There is no excuse for my not meeting you
for lunch yesterday, or at least getting word to you. I had an appointment
written on my calendar, and I was looking forward to the occasion, but somehow
I thought our date was for next Thursday. It was just on
Please forgive me. I am anxious to talk with you and will phone you Tuesday to see if we can arrange a meeting before you leave town. I won’t let you down this time. (86 words)
Cordially，
Xxx
Dear Miss Smith,
This is an apology I feel embarrassed at having to make. I have no excuse for not checking my appointments calendar before dashing off to Denver --- even if it was an emergency call.
After looking forward for six weeks to meeting you and discussing your latest research results of the Matson Project over lunch, I feel bad about forgetting to even notify you of my absence.
I will call you next week when I return and perhaps we can get together in San Francisco at your convenience.
Please accept my apology.
Sincerely
Xxx
Dear Mrs. Lee,
I was terribly sorry to hear that Tony had broken a rather expensive vase at your house while playing with Lilly Friday last week. He said and I believed that it was an accident, occurring while he and Lilly were kept indoors by the rain.
You will be glad to know that he told me of the accident himself after a few days’ silence. Probably, he thought you would tell me, and when you said nothing of it, his conscience hurt more than ever. I must thank you for your generous attitude in not mentioning it.
Naturally, I want to replace it or pay you its value. Will you please tell me which you prefer?
Sincerely yours,
Xxx
