2. Mrs. Emily
My daughter just told me that you give a visit to our home this morning. I am so sorry I was not at home. I have medical check-up at the central hospital in town. I would like to ask you to have dinner next Saturday night so we can have a chat. I will be happy if you could come.

3. Hello Mike,
I’m sorry I was late last night. I didn’t see you when I arrived. I thought you must have left because I was one hour late. I was stuck in a traffic jam. I lost my phone so that I couldn’t call you. Please come to my house this evening, I’ll go home earlier today and cook dinner.
See you,
Julie
Pada contoh short message yang ketiga, berisi Julie yang meminta maaf pada Mike, karena semalam ia terlambat satu jam dengan alasan terjebak dalam lalu lintas.
