问答题 You have an appointment with Mr John Smith, your client, in his office the day after tomorrow. But you won't be able to meet him, as your boss has just told you to deal with some urgent business in another city.
Write an e-mail to Mr John Smith,
(1) to apologize for postponing the appointment;
(2) to explain why the appointment has to be postponed; and
(3) to make a new appointment.
You should write approximately 100 words. Do not use your own name at the end of your e-mail message. Use "Wang Lin" instead.

【正确答案】Dear Mr John Smith,
I'm writing to apologize for not being able to keep our appointment in your office the day after tomorrow. The fact is that my boss has just told me to deal with some urgent business in Guangzhou. But I might be back this Friday. And I'll come to your office at 2 p. m that day if that is convenient for you. I'll check my mailbox tomorrow to see if there is a message from you. Otherwise, I'll see you at that time. I sincerely hope that you will accept my deep apology and the new arrangement.
Yours Sincerely,
Wang Lin
