Dear Mr. Black,
I’m so sorry that I won’t be able to attend the lecture on British history this Saturday afternoon. An old friend from my hometown will come to see me and I have promised to meet her at the airport .
You know I’m deeply interested in British society and history. It’s a pity to miss the lecture . I wonder if it is possible for the lecture to be recorded. If so ,could I borrow the tape ? It would mean so much to me to listen to the tape and learn what is covered in the talk.
Your Sincerely,
Li Hua
