銆€銆€Dear Ms. Ravenal,      

銆€銆€As the editor of the 鈥淣ew Star Column鈥� of Shanghai Evening, I want to apologize for omitting your name in the last issue. Our editor-in-chief Mr. Wang asked me how I could possibly have forgotten to include our hottest new actor! In proofreading the copy, my eyes failed to notice that your name was not where my brain expected it to be. I am awfully sorry for this terrible mistake and any possible inconveniences incurred by it. A correction will appear in the next issue. And I will not hesitate to guarantee that such mistakes will never happen again in the future. 

銆€銆€                                                         Sincerely Yours, 

銆€銆€                                                            Li Ming 

銆€銆€                                                 Editor of Shanghai Evening
