Dear Mike, Good day. Hope you are doing well. I am writing to explain the reason behind being late for the past seven days. As you know there was house maintenance activity happened at my
home
. Indeed, floor tiles had been replaced.
Consequently
, I had to be there at my
home
till the work will be accomplished, and I guided the floor tiles' colour and size, and position of the places at my
home
.
Moreover
, I suggested a plan of action for the work. Eventually, all these activities led me to be late for the past seven days late for office work. As I said the main reason was due to some unavoidable circumstances at
home
.
In addition
, I request apologies for the delay which was happening for the
last
seven days. So, I can assure you that I will not be late from now onwards and I will be on time from now on. Hope you can understand the reason for the delay. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely, Ravi.
