Dear Mr. Abe,

Yours,

Li Hua

Answer 1

【答案】Dear Mr. Abe,

My name is Li Hua. I regret to tell you that I have to cancel my previous reservation of your apartment on Airbnb. Meanwhile, I hope I can get all my deposit back since it is subject to unforeseen circumstances.

I feel sorry for the cancelation and regret any inconvenience it may cause. I am longing to stay at your apartment, but it was not until recently that I was informed that the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games was rescheduled/postponed due to the outbreak of the coronavirus. Worse still, my flights booked earlier this year have been cancelled in view of the worsening situation.

Hopefully a new date for the Olympics will soon be confirmed when the virus is contained. Stay healthy and keep social distancing! I'm looking forward to visiting Tokyo and your place in 2021!

Yours,

Li Hua
