"sorry for not send you email" | "I remember you" could be "Anata wa oboete'" "sorry for not sending email" could be "Email wa okurimasen, gomenasai" (or would you use "hasso" for send in this case? Kokuou, tasuke, kudasai!!! )

Actually, that would be "Anata wo oboeteru." Using the "wa" there means that the person you're talking to remembers something.
And I'd say the email one as "Email (���[��) wo okuranaide gomennasai." The other way was implying that you aren't planning to email the person and are apologizing for that. _________________

Hehe...I'm sure most of us, myself included, make a mistake or two since we're not fluent....far from it.
