Dear Fiona,

I am writing to you to apologize for the abrupt way I departed just after the exams finished. It was terribly rude of me to have left without saying good-bye to you. The fact is that I was so excited when I learned I had passed the exams with high marks that I couldn’t wait to get home and tell my parents. I am sure you will understand my feelings. Please accept my sincere apology, and with you a really happy holiday.
Yours truthfully,

Amelia

Dear Fiona,　

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 an 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.

Sincerely yours,

Amelia
