You are working overseas in an international company. You are leaving the country in an emergency. Write a letter to your friend. Apologies for leaving like this. Explain what happened. Tell them what you are going to miss about working.

Dear Renuka, Hope you're doing well. I am writing
this
letter to let you know that I am leaving for my home country urgently
due to
my father's health issue. Let me explain my situation in detail. My father has been dealing with a heart complication for a long period. Now, his situation has become very critical, and has been admitted to the hospital for the
last
2 days. I am only the child of my parents to take care of. All the responsibilities related to caring, and for groceries, now lie on my shoulders. I am very sorry for not informing you before but I need to leave
this
country in an emergency. It is impossible not to miss working with you. We have been together for over two years and worked hard with a lot of cooperation and each other's support. I appreciate your guidance and support during difficult times in my work. Let's stay in touch and hope to meet you soon, Warm Regards, Parjit
