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'an 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

Judy,
Write to Frank for me. Tell him I'm sorry he's not well and I wish he'd recover soon. Propose September 2 lunch meeting.
Give Bill a call and apologize to him. I can't be at his daughter's birthday party this evening because of the task of receiving an important delegation. Wish her a happy birthday.
Thanks.
