One of your friends recently had a birthday celebration, but you missed it and you forgot to tell your friend that you couldn't attend. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter: -apologise for missing the birthday celebration -explain why you missed it and why you didn't tell your friend -say what you would like to do to show you are sorry

Dear Maninder, I hope
this
letter finds you in the best of your spirits and I am writing
this
letter to feel sorry about the fact that I missed your birthday party
last
week. As you are aware that I have joined a new job as an assistant manager,
therefore
, I was swamped with work
last
week because the current financial year was closing soon and being an accounts expert, I was assigned with the task of rechecking all the documents before submission with income tax department by my senior.
Moreover
, my mother was
also
ill and was hospitalised. I had to manage both fronts and that's why I forgot to write to you about my absence from your birthday bash. Now I am taking a week off from my work and I was planning to meet you for a dinner and by doing so I would make up for my absence from the party and we would spend some quality time too. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Yours lovingly,
