Dear Prof. Rainman,
I‘m sorry I couldn‘t make our 11 o‘clock appointment. Prof.
Wolf‘s lecture lasted a lot longer than I expected. I could
meet you in the library Reading Room 4 tomorrow at 10, if that
is convenient for you. If not, please leave a note in my
mailbox ＃334, this afternoon.
Thank you,
Elizabeth

Ms. Zhao,
A friend of yours, Li Ping, made a long distance call from
Xi‘a(chǎn)n this morning while you went out. She asked you to book
an air ticket for Shanghai at 9 o‘clock, August 5, and make a
reservation for hotel room tonight. I am sorry that I can‘t
pass on the message to you in your presence, because I was
ordered to do something urgent. See you then.

Dear Mr.David，
I very much regret I was unable to attend school this morning
owing to a severe attack of illness. I am enclosing herewith a
certificate from the doctor who is attending me, as he fears
it will be several days before I shall be able to resume my
study. I trust my enforced absence will not give you any
serious inconvenience.
Sincerely yours,
Peter
