this
letter finds you well. I am writing
this
letter to apologise for not being able to meet you during my visit to Mumbai. I feel extremely dreadful about it. As I have mentioned earlier that it was a one-day conference. It was immensely tedious and hectic,
for instance

also
leave on the same day, since I had to attend college as well the
next
day.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
