Sehr verehrte gnädige Frau!

Verzeihen Sie vielmals diese Verspätung – durch einen Zufall hatte ich leider erst vor einigen Tagen von Ihrem Anruf gehört. Ist es Ihnen recht, wenn ich mir erlaube, Sie Freitag gegen ½ 6 zu besuchen?

Mit bestem Dank
Ihr ergebenster

Dear Madam,

A thousand pardons for this delay—by accident I had heard of your call unfortunately only a few days ago. Is it alright if I permit myself to visit you Friday around 5:30?

With many thanks,
Yours most sincerely,
