道歉信

Dear Professor Smith(道歉的對象),

①I write with a bit of bad news—unfortunately, it looks like I will no longer be able to travel to Boston/attend the conference(原定計劃、但不能做到的事情) next week(原定時間).

②Long story short, I will have to stay in Beijing for at least another two weeks to lead my team in the upcoming pitch competition/deal with an unexpected problem(因什么理由耽誤原定計劃). ③The organizers just pushed out an earlier submission option with a February 15th deadline./The problem is so serious that it needs to be solved as soon as possible.(必須要做的事情，解釋不能按原定計劃的理由)

④I’m really looking forward to catching up with you/attending the meeting(期盼原本的計劃) and very frustrated by this wild card. ⑤But fortunately, I can most definitely make the trip/reschedule the conference/make that happen(再次約定這次沒做到的事情) next month(改約的時間). ⑥Would that work for you? ⑦I apologize for this change and the inconvenience. ⑧Hope to see you soon!

Best Regards,

Li Ming
