Dear Mr Smith,
I am writing to apologise for the meeting I missed on 24th June about development plans for the company.
I am sincerely sorry for not being able to attend
this
meeting. I am aware of the importance of the meeting but, unfortunately, my absence was unavoidable.
The reason for not attending this
meeting was that I had a car accident on the way to work that day. Although
the accident was not serious, I was taken to the hospital for a checkup and not allowed to leave until I had been given the all-clear from a doctor.
I understand how crucial this
meeting was and, therefore
, I have asked one of my colleagues, Amna Alavi, to review the meeting with me after work today. We will go over all development plans and also
people’s roles and responsibilities. By the end of today, I will be up to speed with all the plans.
I hope you will forgive my absence and be assured of my commitment to this
company and its future.
Yours sincerely,
Alizeh AdnanSubmitted by alizeh.adnan on
