Dear Denial, I am writing
this
letter to express my sincere apology for being absent from the meeting that was scheduled for 8th September 2020. It was indispensable for every employee to attend as it was about the reopening of the restaurant which had been closed for a couple of months. I know you have been very kind and thoughtful not only to me but
also
to others. You wanted to make us aware of some rules and precautions while carrying out duties. It was a terrible blunder on my part that I could not attend
this
meeting. Let me explain the reason for my absence that was unavoidable. As I was on the way to attend the meeting, I had been told by one of my

that my mother had a serious heart attack and she was hospitalized.
This
news was a bolt from Blue for me and I turned back home. I know I have let you down. I could have informed you but the situation didn’t allow me as I was more worried and panicked about my mother’s health. You know I have always prioritized my work and have never ever disrespected and disobeyed you by showing irregularities. Would you be kind enough to reschedule the meeting for any other day or if there is anything else that I can do to fix things and regain your trust, let me know? I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest. Yours Sincerely,
