Dear Prof. Wang,
First of all, please allow me to express my deep sorry for not being able to keep our appointment. I do know that this is very impolite and must have caused you much trouble.
I do reckon that at present any explanation is pale and futile. However I do not want you to misunderstand me. On my way to your office, an old lady suddenly fainted due to heart attack on the bus. I stopped a taxi and sent her into a nearby hospital. I stayed there until her son came, which spoiled our appointment.
I am aware that our appointment is of importance. I do hope that you would be kind enough to spare your valuable time to meet me.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely yours,
Li Ming
第二篇:英语考研感谢信写作指导
考研时间将近,考研英语作文也到了名副其实的押宝环节,都教授认为小作文的四大重点分别为:邀请信,感谢信,投诉信,求职信。下面都教授针对邀请信这一信函类应用文,来指导考生如何攻克。
一、感谢信入门须知
信函是交涉事物、增进了解、交流思想、联络感情的重要工具。就文体基本划分为正式和非正式文体,就种类可划分为私人、公务、社交、商务信件。在考研英语中,我们多以用途来划分和备考,即求职信、咨询信、感谢信、投诉信、建议信、邀请信等。
感谢信是重要的礼仪文书,是向帮助、关心和支持过自己的集体或个人表示感谢的专业书信,有感谢和表扬双重意思。一方受惠于另一方,应及时地表达谢忱,使对方在付出劳动和贡献后得到心理上和精神上的收益,它是一种不可少的书信形式。由于感谢信的主要目的是向收信人表明感激之情,其写作要点如下:
1.首先要表明写作意图,向对方表示诚挚的谢意。
2.简要说明感谢的原因,语言要诚挚。
3.官方感谢信应行文得体,非官方感谢信较为随意。
4.结尾再次表明感谢之情
二、常用句型
I am writing to express my thanks to...
我写这封信是为了表达我对...的谢意。
We are indebted to you for your help.
对于你们的帮助,我们表示深深谢意
I would like to take this opportunity to express my great appreciation for your timely help and assistance.
我谨借此机会感谢您给予我们及时帮助和支持。
