One possible version Dear Mr. Jackson, I’m really sorry about my using the mobile phone in your lecture last week. Please accept my heart-felt apology for being so rude a student.

I know any word might sound a made- up excuse. But I did not use the mobile phone for no reason. I was trying to find a part-time job last weekend that day, I got a job offer and they needed my further information immediately. Therefore, I had no other choice but to try sending them a text message in class and that was exactly what I was doing when you discovered.

Anyway, using a mobile phone in the classroom is not acceptable to any teacher. I swear it will not happen again. But I do need my phone back to keep in touch with others. Will you be so kind to give it back to me? Thanks a million! Best wishes! Yours sincerely Li Hua
