【正确答案】 Dear Lily,
I am writing this letter to express my heartfelt apology for not returning the book on time before graduation.
It was several months ago that I borrowed it from you. As the graduation day was approaching, I was too busy to give it back to you. To make up for the loss that I have caused to you, I will give you the book as quickly as possible by all the means within my ability, post or express. If necessary, I will buy you another new book.
I am sorry again for bringing you such inconvenience. I will be so glad if you accept my apology.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
