Homework

3. a) 1. The letter is an extract taken from an informal letter.

2. The purpose of this letter is to apologize to someone for the mistake they did, more
precisely about the fact that they confused some dates.
3. I think that that part is from the ending of the letter.
4. The writer proposes to resolve the situation by inviting the other person to dinner,
announcing that they would pay.

b) Dear Sir,

Please accept our appologies for what happened. We are very sorry that we confused the
dates and we were not able to come to the meeting.
We take full responsibility for the incovenience. A misunderstanding was created between
our departments and we thought that the meeting took place tomorrow. We assure you that we will
do everything we can to make up for what happened. Please accept our complimentary meal
voucher and you can use it at your convenience in your favorite restaurant.
We hope that you will forgive us for this terrible error and we hope we can rearrenge
another meeting.
Yours faithfully,
The company.
