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
