【佳作賞析】

Dear Jim,

I am sorry to inform you that I won't be able to keep our appointment as scheduled due to my father's injury in an unexpected accident. As my mother is currently on business in Chengdu,there is no one to take care of him in the hospital but me. However, I feel terribly apologetic for standing you up and beg for your forgiveness.

How about meeting up at 9：00 next Saturday morning? At that time, my mom will have come back and my father's condition will have improved greatly and be discharged from the hospital.

Keenly anticipate your reply.

Yours,

Li hua
