主题：回复：预约改期
亲爱的周女士：
非常抱歉这么晚才给您回复。由于我们办公室的疏忽，而未能为您修改预约日期，我向您表示歉意。之前的周一是我们当地的一个节日，我们办公室关门休息，因此未能收到您要求将预约日期修改为周二的消息。对于由此给您造成的不便，我们向您致歉，希望我们能根据您的时间，为您预约下周的某一天。请和我联系，确认一个合适的时间，打电话或发邮件都可以。
诚挚的萨拉·布坎南

主题：家庭紧急情况
亲爱的威廉斯先生：
很抱歉昨天下午我错过了每周销售例会。我未能参会，错过了为此次会议做出贡献的机会，对此我感到遗憾。很抱歉我未能在会前向您告知或请假。大约在会前五分钟，我接到我妻子的电话，说我女儿骑自行车的时候被一辆小轿车撞了。幸好她当时戴了头盔，伤势不重。请原谅我的缺席。
致礼！
凯尔·加西亚
