Dear Alice，
Here is a piece of good news for you. The Russian National Ballet Troupe， which is now on a visit in Beijing， will give a performance in the Beijing Grand Theater tomorrow evening. I am sure that you will be happy to watch it. Here I leave you an admission card. The performance will begin at seven o'clock sharp. I will wait for you at the theater entrance.

Dear Lily，
I am sorry I missed seeing you yesterday. I know that you must have been disappointed. I also feel worried and anxious in my heart. The fact is that my manager at the last moment asked me to prepare a urgent plan while I could not get to a phone to call you and yesterday I have worked late until about 8：30 p. m. I am terribly sorry.
However， I would like to ask you out this weekend to make up for yesterday. Please give me a chance and I am waiting for your reply.

Dear Lucy，
I do appologize for having to send this letter about Saturday night.
When I accepted your invitation， I simply forgot that Saturday was a holiday and that my own guests were not leaving until Sunday morning. It is difficult for me to make a choice. Though I also wonder to meet you very much. I could not very well go out by myself and leave the guests at my home.
I hope you know how sorry I am not to be with you this Saturday. Should I make a visit to you in my other spare time？
Thank you very much.
