Situation 1 (Apologies Letter Sample)
You borrowed some books from your school or college library. Unfortunately you have to go away to visit a sick relative and cannot return the books in time. Write a letter to the library! Explain what has happened and tell them what you want to do about it.Dear Sir or Madam
I am writing this letter to explain why have been unable to return the three books have out on three-day loan, which are now overdue.
After taking the books out on 16th March, I had an urgent phone call from my elderly aunt's neighbour to say that my aunt had had a fall and had been taken into hospital. I am her only surviving relative in this country, so I felt I had to go and see her immediately. I travelled down to Surrey the following morning, thinking I would stay for only two or three days. Unfortunately, my aunt's condition has only improved very slowly, so I have had to stay here longer than expected. However, the hospital says that if all goes well, she should be able to go home in two or three days' time, in which case I will be back at the beginning of next week.
Dealing in mind the circumstances I trust you will kindly waive any fines that may have accumulated
Yours sincerely

Dear James,
I was very shocked to get your letter saying that the noise from my flat has been spoiling your evenings and causing you some distress am really, really sorry about that I had no idea that you would be able to hear so much, so hope you will accept my apologies.
As you may have guessed, I am trying to refit my kitchen in the evenings when get home from work. Unfortunately it is all getting longer than expected and have been having problems with getting things to fit properly. This has meant to a lot of banging and hammering.
As the kitchen is still not finished, have decided to call in a professional builder who will finish the work in the next day or two. He'll work only during daytime hours, so you won't be disturbed in the evenings again, I promise.
Sorry to have caused these problems,
Bill
