You were absent from an important event held by the company you work for. Write a letter to your manager. In your letter: •Apologize for your absence and explain the reasoning •Explain why you had to be at the other event •Explain what you will do to catch up Begin your letter as follows: Dear …………………….,
Dear Mr. Mark,
I hope
this
letter finds you great. I am writing to apologize for not attending the new office ceremony due to
unexpected circumstances related to my son.
First,
while
I was getting dressed, my son fell on the ground, and his arm was broken. Consequently
, I took him to the hospital to see a doctor, and we stayed there for three hours, missing the event time. Accordingly
, my wife had to stay home with our baby because we had no one to sit with her. That made me the only one who could deal with such
unexpected issues.
Finally
, my sincerest apologies for not attending such
an important event, and as compensation, I would request to make clients’ visits instead
of my colleagues to display our company’s new branch services. Furthermore
, If there were some delayed tasks, I would be ready to accomplish them immediately. Please accept my sincerest apologies, and thank you for your constant understanding and support.
Best regards ,
