I am sorry to rush you but please respond. vs I am sorry to rush you, but please respond.

Both phrases are correct, but they have different punctuation. The first phrase uses 'but' as a conjunction without a comma before it, while the second phrase uses a comma before 'but' to separate the clauses. The choice between using a comma or not depends on the writer's preference for the flow of the sentence.
