below Explanation: I am very sorry that it took me such a long time to send my documents.. or I apologize for being delayed in sending my documents. I apologize, perhaps would sound more formal. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 hrs 42 mins (2005-05-23 06:00:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- About your question, yes it is correct, however \"delayed so long\" with the rest of the sentence just sounds a bit awkward IMO. |
