I felt rather strange when you would not shake hands with me. I did not realize that there are some taboos in different countries and cultures. After reading a magazine article, I know that people from India do not shake hands with their left hands. I should not have held out my left hand to you. And I now know you do not eat beef because of your religion.
I feel very sorry for not having known these taboos earlier. I hope you can forgive me for all these misunderstandings. I hope our next meeting will be happier.
Yours sincerely, (xxx)
Write a letter of apology Mr Takashi and Mr Hudson to explain misunderstandings. Find a partner and discuss what to include in the letter. Each person should write a different part.
