Dear Shizune, How are you doing?

This

is your friend Amanda. I am writing

this

letter to inform you that I am not able to pick up you from the airport on time . In view of the fact that I took leave from the hospital for one day to meet up with you but whenever I came out of my house and start my car I had a call from the hospital. and they told me that they need me

due to

an emergency. Despite being off I am late for 30 mins to 1 hour because I am not sure how much time it takes in the hospital.

Secondly

, In the front wheel of my car, it is punctured and the repair man told me it takes more extra 30 mins so I am late approximately 1 and a half hours. I hope you don't mind and understand the situation. Please come out from the first gate and wait for me at that place. Yours truly, Amanda.
