Last month, you visited another town. You had arranged to meet up with a friend who lives in the town, but you were not able to do so. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter - apologise for not meeting him/her - explain why you did not contact him/her earlier - suggest a time and place to meet in the future
Dear Sona,
How are you? Sorry, it's taken me so long to write to you but at
last
, I put my pen to paper to explain why I didn't meet you on my vacation.
I am extremely sorry for not coming to your house during my visit. Although
I was excited to meet you, I had a family emergency, therefore
, I left without informing you.
To explain further
, my grandmother had a severe epilepsy attack due to
some cerebral blockage. In addition
, there was no family member near her during that period. Thus
, I flew in an emergency without texting you. Moreover
, I left my phone in my hotel room due to
stress as well as
rush which made the situation worse. This
is the main reason why I was not able to contact you earlier.
However
, we all have planned to celebrate not only Christmas but also
New Year celebrations in your city because of the long holidays, including my grandmother. Furthermore
, I am inviting you to the party that will be on the evening of 25th of December owing to a special arrangement for Christmas
party.
I am sorry once again for not visiting your home. Hoping to see you soon.
With regards
