Dear Tom:
How are you going? We made a plan that we would travel in Beijing together next week. While, I should apologize to you because I cannot go there on time for the reasons as follows.
First, I cannot deny that it can help us broaden our horizon and deepen our mind when we travel in Beijing. However, the government encourages us students to go to Shanghai due to the fact that the EXPO is being held in Shanghai now. As the saying goes, ’strike while the iron is hot’. After finish my college entrance examination, I am eager to learn something about study from the EXPO to prepare for my education in college. In addition, I have been busy with the preparation of the college entrance examination for about half a year and got tired. I need some time to relax instead of traveling.
For the reasons that I mentioned above, I want to show my apology again. And would you please reschedule your time? Shall we travel in Beijing after two weeks? I am looking forward to a favorable reply at your earliest convenience.
