之一:

Dear Prof. Einstein, 　　
I have not contacted you for some time. Yesterday I received the admission email of another famous University, ranking top ?? in the major I applied. I still have not gotten formal letter from it, but it will arrive soon.I am very sorry to tell you that I will decline your gracious offer and accept this university. It is not easy for me to write this email. It was you who gave me confidence otherwise I did not dare to apply for the best schools in US. I really hope you will forgive me for my change of mind, and I sincerely hope this will not cause too much inconvenience to you. If I have the chance to meet you in US in the future, I will always regard you as my mentor. If the I-20 and admission letter from your university is not released, please forward my decision to the admission office. I will return the application fee to your Chinese Student after I reach US(I want to know his address). If released, I will return it to your university. It is hoped that this notification reach you early enough for a rearrangement. Thank you again for all the assistance you have given to me during my application. 　　

Yours Sincerely,

之二

Dear Dr. : 　　
I have received letters of TA and chacellor fellowship offer from the chair, and the I-20 form from graduate colledge. I got lots of help from you during the whole process, Thank you very much. However, I'm really sorry to tell you that I decided not to attend your school. I have been hesitating among the 9 schools I received for a long time, and it's really hard to reach such a decision. My teachers and my family were involved in the decision. I'm sorry I can't inform you earlier. I hope you can find another better student. I enjoy our contacts and like your research very much. Also the financial support from your school is fully adequate. You're clearly an outstanding advisor with bright future. It's really a pity I can't join you this fall. May sometime in the future, we can meet in a meeting in U.S.A. My very best wishes to you.

　　Sincerely yours
