英语道歉信范文及常用句式

道歉信是指因过失或疏忽做错了事，给别人带来了麻烦或损失，发觉后要立即写信给对方赔礼道歉时写的信件。道歉是一种礼貌，道歉信要写得坦率，诚恳。

道歉信通常包括三部分内容：

1、表示歉意，道歉的原由；

2、出现差错的原因，提出弥补措施；

3、请求原谅。语言要诚挚，解释的理由要真实。好的道歉信不仅会取得对方的谅解，还会增进彼此的感情。

写作“三步曲”：

表示歉意→说明具体原因、提出补救办法→再次致歉，希望得到理解。

注意：

理由要尽量合理，违反生活常识将导致扣分；尽量提供一个合适的补救办法，使行文更加顺畅。

Dear Mr Minister，On behalf of the United States Government, I now outline steps to resolve this issue.Both President Bush and Secretary of State Powell have expressed their sincere regret over your missing pilot and aircraft.Please convey to the Chinese people and to the family of pilot Wang Wei that we are very sorry for their loss.Although the full picture of what transpired is still unclear, according to our information, our severely crippled aircraft made an emergency landing after following international emergency procedures.We are very sorry the entering of China's airspace and the landing did not have verbal clearance, but very pleased the crew landed safely.We appreciate China's efforts to see to the well-being of our crew.In view of the tragic incident and based on my discussions with your representatives, we have agreed to the following actions:

Both sides agree to hold a meeting to discuss the incident.My government understands and expects that our air crew will be permitted to depart China as soon as possible.The meeting would be April 18, 2001.The meeting agenda would include discussions of the causes of the incident, possible recommendations whereby such collisions could be avoided in the future, development of a plan for prompt return of the EP-3 aircraft, and other related issues.We acknowledge your government's intention to raise U.S.reconnaissance missions near China in the meeting.Sincerely

菲律宾年轻人的一封道歉信

As you are reading this letter, I bet that you have seen/heard about what happened earlier in our country.Tourists were hostages of a policeman here, Rolando Mendoza.After a few hours of the horrible crime, some of the victims were dead including the hostage-taker.I wrote this letter not just to apologize but also to let everyone know that we Filipinos are not all like Mendoza.We are loving and good-hearted people.For so many years, our country has been standing tall and surpassing every dilemma;be it small or big.Years ago(back when I wasn’t born yet), you have watched us fight for what we think is right.We fought for the democracy of our nation..The EDSA revolution.But that’s just one out of many.Second.We Filipinos have been serving other countries for our families and we treat you as our own as well.With all due respect, I thank you all for giving us the trust through the years.For helping us to become what we are now.The Philippines is more than just a group of islands.We are a nation of strong and remarkable people.A country of beauty and love known to be hospitable and well-valued.I humbly apologize for what happened tonight.No one in this world would want something like that to happen for life should be valued.I politely ask the attention of the world.Please do not judge and mistreat us just because of what happened tonight.I have been searching the net and found terrible things.Hong Kong advices to avoid travels here, China and HK bans Filipinos and that Philippines is the worst place to go.I can’t blame you for what you have decided but I hope that you could understand.Our country is now in a sea of problems.And I know for sure that we helped you in a way or another.Let peace and understanding reign this time.I know that this letter will just be trash but I wish that you would understand.On behalf of the Philippine population..WE ARE SORRY.As a song puts it…

And I believe that in my life I will see an end to hopelessness, giving-up and suffering.And we all stand together this one time then no one will get left behind.Stand up for life.STAND UP FOR LOVE

Sincerely yours，Reigno Jose Dilao

既然你在读着这封信，我想你一定看过或者听说过早前在我的祖国发生的事情。

游客们被警察Rolando Mendoza当作人质。可怕的罪行持续一段时间后，一些人质死了，而劫匪Mendoza也被击毙。

我写这封信，不仅仅是为了道歉，也是为了让所有人知道，我们菲律宾人并不都是Mendoza。我们是充满爱并且热心的人民。

许多年来，我们的国家曾经挺立于世，经历了所有，无论大或者小的困境。数十年前（回到我还没出生的时候），你看过我们为了我们所认同的真理而战斗。我们是为了自己国家的民主而奋战......像EDSA起义。但那只是我们许多努力中的一部分。

其次，我们菲律宾人为了我们的家庭一直在为其他国家服务，我们对待你们如同对待自己的家人。冒昧的说，我感谢你们所有人这么多年来信任我们，帮助我们成为今天的菲律宾人。

菲律宾不仅仅由一些岛屿组成。我们的民族是一个由坚强，卓越的人们组成的民族。我们的国家是一个美丽好客，价值非凡的国家。我谦卑地为昨晚发生的事情道歉。世界上没有人会希望类似的事情发生在宝贵无价的生命上面。

我诚恳地请求全世界注意。请不要只因为昨晚发生的事件就武断地判定和误解我们。我在网络上搜寻后发现了一些很糟糕的事情。香港政府建议不要来这里旅游，中国大陆和香港对菲律宾颁布禁令，菲律宾变成了最不该去的地方。

我不能因为你所决定的而责怪你，但我希望你理解。我们的国家现在正处于无数问题之中。我也肯定我们在某方面帮助过你们。让和平与谅解统领这个时刻。

我知道这封信将会被丢弃，但我祈求你会理解。我以菲律宾人的名义说出，我们，很抱歉。正如一首歌唱的一样......我相信在我的生命中我将会看到绝望，放弃，折磨迎来尽头。这一次我们所有人都会站在一起，没人会被落下。为了生命而站出来，为了爱站出来。

你真诚的，Reigno Jose Dilao

rue du Professeur Nicolas 35009 Clermont Ferrand France 7 August 2002

Dear Jacques, I’m writing to you because we’ve been having a bit of trouble with one of our suppliers who makes the lightweight batteries we use to power our vehicles.I’m pretty sure you don’t have a local distributor of your products in this country, which is why I’m writing to you direct to se if you can help us out.I did try to call, but you weren’t available.I’m sending some copies of our technical brochures to that you can see what we need.Here’s the specification: Polymeric Batteries

Maximum Size:

Height: 200mm

Depth: 200mm

Width: 300mm Maximum Weight:

5kg Output:

1000 watts @ 12 volts Rechargeable life at full power: hours Labels:

Each unit should bear a label giving: The output of the battery, its month and year of manufacture, your own company’s name and country, a product code number and a unique unit number

Quantity:

4,800 units

Delivery:

by 15 September 2002

I’d appreciate it if you could quote us your best CIF price, giving a full specification of your product and shipping date.Of course our technical department would need to have some samples of the batteries to test in our laboratories before we could place a firm order.We usually deal with new suppliers on the basis of payment in our currency by confirmed irrevocable Letter of Credit.Assuming the laboratory tests go well, and you can quote us a competitive price, we’d certainly be able to place more substantial orders on a regular basis.I’ll be out of the office for a couple of weeks from tomorrow.In the meantime, do get in touch with one of my assistants Mr.Cloud and Mrs.Lewis if you need any more information.Looking forward to hearing from you.Giving my best regards to Jeanne and the kids.Best wishes，Fred Fred A.North, Buying manager

7）出国留学推荐信(Recommendation Letter for Studying Abroad)随着我国出国留学生日年增多一般，大部分学生需要在出国前让自己的老师、导师或领导写一份出国推荐信，从而可以在信中告知对方学校申请人的学历、能力、为人处世等方面的情况。如果推荐信是写给对方某某人的，开头用 Dear…，如果是写给对方单位或学校的，则开头可以用To whom it may concern, 或To Whom It May Concern,（意为：有关负责人）。

以下是一封出国留学推荐信：

请假条：往往指由于生病或特殊情况不能亲自当面请假，用假条的形式告假。所以，请假条大多是病假条。可以自写，也可请他人代写。写假条最重要的是说明原因和请假的期限。
