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 • apologies for what happened • explain why you missed the deadline • tell him/her how you will avoid this situation in future.

Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing

this

letter to express my sincere apologies for my inability to complete the ATX

project

on

time

which caused a loss of an important client to the company. In future, I will take all necessary measures to avoid

this

kind of situation. In fact, for the

last

few months, I was on

time

for the completion of all activities of the

project

.

However

, during the final testing stage, some bugs were found which took a considerable

time

to rectify them. On top of that, my mother got ill and had to hospitalize for her treatments which caused my absence for a few days from the

project

.

As a result

of it, I was unable to complete the

project

on

time

and took one additional week.

However

, I will take

this

as a lesson and will prepare

project

plans at outset allowing

time

for unforeseeable events of

this

kind.

Also

, I will update the general Risk Register of the company, so others of the company

also

could get prepared for an event of

this

kind in future. Again, please accept my apologies for what happened. Yours faithfully, Alex Hunter
