Dear Bob，
I'm ething must be done to solve the problem because I understand you cherish the CD enormously。I can either send it to you by express mail or alternatively compensate you at a reasonable price。If you do not mind，I may bring it back to you next time I go to Canada。
Please let me knoe tomorroing the day after tomorrow。 I feel terribly sorry for missing the chance of such a happy get—together，and I hope that all of you enjoy a good time。 Is it possible for you and me to have a private meeting afterward？If so，please don't hesitate to drop me a line about your preferable date。 I do long for a pleasant chat with you。
Please allow me to say sorry again。
Regards，
Li Ming
