You had just missed a friend’s party, write a letter to apologise. In your letter, you should: · apologise to your friend · explain why you couldn’t attend the party · tell her what steps you will take to avoid missing it in the future.
Dear Abhi,
I am writing
this
letter to you for begging apology as I could not attend your party. This
is mainly due to the fact that I was stuck with a critical project delivery at my office. I remember having a discussion with you regarding my promotion to the post of senior manager, this
work was extremely vital for that.
Let me explain my situation. The project that I am assigned to was running very smoothly. However
, suddenly there was a major crash in our server, and my team ended up losing most of the codes that they wrote. Although
we could revive parts of it, the morale of my team members went down terribly. Hence
, the zeal to complete their own job was immensely low. Thus
, to keep them motivated I planned to stay back with them till late at night. Henceforth, missed the celebration.
I am promising you that from next
time onwards, I will plan my schedule properly so that I don’t miss it. I look forward to hearing from you.
Your Friend
