Write a letter to your boss for a recent meeting you missed 1. Apologies for the missing 2. Explain what happened 3. Day what you will do to compensate
Dear Mr. Smith,
I am writing to express my sincere apology for my absence from the meeting with ABC company
this
morning. I could have notified you in advance had it not been for an unforeseen situation.
The reason for my absence was that I was involved in a car accident on the way from my home to the office. While
I was not injured, I had to wait while
the traffic police were investigating the reason for the accident. When I was given permission to leave the spot it was already 11 am.
I understand that the meeting was of significant importance. I have already asked my colleague Emma to send me the meeting minutes and briefly introduce the content of the conference. I will catch up with the plan that you discussed during the meeting and finish the task I was assigned by the end of today.
Again please accept my apology for any inconvenience incurred and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further
concerns.
Yours sincerely,
Changyue ZhouSubmitted by 997339155 on
