Dear Sir or Madam,
As a college student who is studying and living in a good environment, I wish to contribute to Project Hope by offering financial assistance to a child in a remote area. Having conceived such a plan for a long time, I write this letter to request your help to recommend a proper candidate.
I wonder if it is convenient for you if three things concerning the child are taken into consideration. First, the child should come from Gansu Province, for I intend to help a child from my hometown. Second, it will be better if the child is a primary school student. I hope I will help him/her from the very beginning. In addition, he/she must be willing to return to his hometown to help built it after graduation from university.
My plan will be carried out as follows. On one hand, I will remit at least 2,000 Yuan in cash every year until he/she finishes his/her education before entering college. On the other hand, I decide to teach the child math and English in person during my summer vacation, which will surely be more beneficial to the child.
Your prompt help would be highly appreciated. And I am looking forward to your reply very soon.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to ask you whether you could help me find a child in a remote area to whom I will offer my financial aid.
The candidate should be a girl at age 10 to 12 who is deprived of the opportunity to continue her education because of poverty. Her previous score reports should prove her potential to be an outstanding student in the future.
I would like to give the girl my financial support annually until she graduates from college. The money will cover her tuition fee and other expenses at school. Besides, I will correspond with her frequently so that she can seek advice whenever she needs.
I am looking forward to your reply.
Sincerely,
Li Ming

Dear Mr. Walker,
I am writing to draw your attention to a new $ 5,999 flat-panel LCD computer screen with built-in speakers which I purchased from Hewlett-Packard branch in Beijing on 28 May 2006. It is very unfortunate that only after using less than ten days, some problems have occurred. I regret to tell you that the flat-panel LCD computer screen malfunctioned. In addition, the music system does not work the way it should making a lot of noise. What’s worse, even one speaker is out of order.
On 6 June only a few days outside the ‘replacement for product fault’ window, the built-in speakers on the unit failed to work properly. Although I called the sales Rep immediately, not until four days later did a technician arrived to check the problem. After a 20-second test (by the way, he is using my borrowed earphones to test the unit), I was told that the Hewlett-Packard screen speakers were not functioning! However, no information was given to me about what was to be the solution to this annoying problem. Clearly the screen has a multimedia purpose, yet with these audio problems most of the enjoyment was lost. A technician named Hewlett-Packard’s senior officer who guaranteed that they were doing ‘everything’ possible to remedy the situation. I was told to call him ‘any time’, and they would do ‘anything’ to help me out. Sixteen days has passed after reporting the problem, nothing was heard from the Sales Rep or Hewlett-Packard.
As one of the famous computer producing manufacturers, your company-Hewlett-Packard is enjoying high prestige among customers around the world. Yet I don’t understand why I should get such an inferior quality product and such a poor after-sales service. According to the terms of guarantee of your company, it is your company’s responsibility to have the computer screen with built-in speakers repaired. I would appreciate it if you could repair the computer screen as the earliest possible time, or exchange it for a better model. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to ask for solution at the Consumer Association. Your prompt attention to this letter will be appreciated.
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Peter Stephen

Dear Tom,
Thank you very much for inviting me to your birthday party tomorrow and I have been longing for giving my sincere wishes to you on that special day. However, I am terribly sorry that I cannot be there because of a matter of some urgency. This afternoon I got a call from my parents telling me that my sister had been hospitalized. Both of my parents are busy at work, so I have to go home in a hurry to take care of her. I am sure you can understand this. I would like to say sorry again and wish you a happy birthday as well as a successful party.

Dear Mr. Wang,
I very much regret I was unable to attend your English class next Friday.
As you may know, we senior students have been busy looking for jobs since the beginning of this semester. Luckily, I have got an opportunity to be interviewed by a well-known large public company, which I have longed to enter. Unfortunately, the interview is scheduled for next Friday. I really don’t want to miss this valuable chance, so I have to ask for leave. I know mid-term exam is approaching, and next Friday’s class is important. In order to make up for it, I will ask a classmate to copy your PPT and take notes for me. I will study them carefully and hand in all the homework on time.
I shall be very much obliged if you can approve my application. Sorry for any inconvenience caused by my absence.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

Dear Ms. Reeves,
Thank you for writing the letter. However, I must apologize to you and your colleagues for the fact that I am unable to come to the meeting on the 15th.

Can you confirm with my secretary which of those days will be suitable for you?
I look forward to seeing you soon.

Dear Mr. Green,
We have received your letter with respect to the delay of the order dated Oct.24, 2012, and on behalf of our company I would like to express our apologies to you.
As a matter of fact, we have sent commodities on time in line with our contract. However, there was something wrong with the shipment. Owing to the bad weather, the shipment has been greatly postponed. At the moment, even though we took urgent measures to make up for the delay, the consequence was still unsatisfactory.
Since being informed about the delay in delivery, we were quickly aware that this would give rise to great inconvenience and trouble for you, which would have a negative effect not only on the sales, but also on your customer relations and your company’s fame. As a result, our company is willing to take the responsibility and do all we can to make up your losses. In order to compensate for this order, our company offer 10% off the freight in delivery. Although we would endure a big loss, that would not be a problem with us. In addition, we will find some backups in case transportation fails again.
All in all, we have paid our immediate attention to this matter and given promise that everything will return to normal. We hope this matter will not influence the cooperation between you and us.
I do hope that you will accept our apologies.
Yours sincerely,
Will Smith
