. As a result, I have to tell you, with regret, that I can`t spend this holiday with you. Although I can`t go to Tainan this weekend, I would like to tell you that at the end of this summer vacation I will go to see my uncle who lives in Tainan. When that time comes we may have another chance to be together again. So let us wait until then. Sincerely yours, Your friend Mary

Dear Isabella,

How are you? I received your letter by special delivery yesterday afternoon. Many thanks for the enclosed nine drawings and beautiful photos and, above all , for the invitation itself. Your invitation reminds me of the promise we made last year. I can still remember the day you and your folks moved to Taipei. That day you and I made a promise to meet again one year later, and we walked the street most of the time in silence. Then we said good-bye to each other and parted at the street corner at last. That is really a haunting memory, isn’t it? Now one year is gone. You have invited me to go on holiday for a week starting tomorrow and I remember our promise. But I hope you can forgive me for what I am going to tell you: I am dying to see you, but I can`t I am sorry, please. I have to break my word because my elder sister is going abroad to seek advanced study. She will leave for Germany soon and my parents want me to give a hand to them and do some things for my sister prior to her departure. I hope you can understand this. I hope you will not blame me for real, will you? Perhaps everything will be all right next time. May you have an enjoyable holiday! With love, Hero

Dear Stephanie:

Would you forgive me for what I`m going to tell you? Because I failed to persuade my parents ( old fogies they are ) to let me spend the holiday with you
