You have recently missed a project deadline which resulted in your company losing an important client. Write a letter to your manager. In your letter • apologise for what happened • explain why you missed the deadline • tell him/her how you will avoid this situation in future.

Dear Sir I am writing

this

letter to convey my apologies as I failed to meet the given deadline and

as a result

of it, we lost a business of an important client. I can truly understand your situation,

however

, I want to share with you, why I failed to meet the deadline. Unfortunately, my maternal grandmother passed away due to a heart stroke, which we never expected, as she was strong with no health issues so far.

Besides

,

this

my mother was hospitalized due to the sudden death of her mother as she could not take it. During

this

tough, time I had to take care of her at the hospital since I do not have a father or siblings. Because of all these, I couldn't complete the project before the deadline. As you're aware of my potential, I would like you to request to give me a chance to prove myself as I will ensure that

such

incidents will not be repeated as I have already started creating my backup.

Therefore

, my backup will look after me in my absence even if I am not available due to unavoidable situations in the future. I hope you will understand. Yours Sincerely Simhachalam Gouroju
