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 Adriana,
Hi Adriana. I hope you are doing great. How are your studies going? These days I am working with "Apple" company. Managers of the company have scheduled a general meeting on 14th October. It is extremely important for my job. If I do not go there, they dismiss me. That's why I cannot go to your
birthday
party
. Your birthday
is on 14th October too. I am supposed to visit your birthday
party
but I am afraid the timing contradicts another important meeting. I even bought a gift for you in advance. Celebrate your birthday
without me. In addition
to this
, my mother is ill. She has a headache. So I take care of my mum and I bring her tablets and medicine.
I wish to sincerely apologise for missing your birthday
party
. Please my bestie, do not be upset. Instead
of me, my sister goes to your birthday
party
. I am so sorry I'm not able to come. I regret that I cannot make it. I cannot describe how sorry I am and how guilty I feel. Please accept my apology.
I promise you I will definitely go to your next birthday
party
. I hope you believe me when I say how sorry I am. I hope my apologies will be accepted. I wish you health and wealth. Live long. Achieve your all goal. Good luck with your studies. Our friendship will last
forever.
Lots of love,
