You have just missed a friend’s party. Write a letter to apologise. In your letter: apologise to your friend explain why you did not attend the party say what you plan to do to make up for missing the party.
Dear Ann,
I hope all is well with you. I apologise for not attending your birthday party. I know that you would have been disappointed, but allow me to tell you the reason why did I miss it.
Unfortunately, my grandfather was hospitalised because of his illness so my dad insisted I take care of him the whole day as he had important work at the office. I was unable to deny his request because you know that we don't have anyone else to rely on with
such
a great responsibility. However
, there is nothing to worry about as he is perfectly fine now and we discharged him a few days ago.
So, I am planning to arrange a special dinner at our favourite restaurant on 18th December to make up for missing the party. What do you think? Please let me know if can make it so I can confirm the table reservation. once again i
am sorry , see you soon.
Take care.
Your's lovely,
JeevitChange the capitalization
