Dear Alex,
I am writing to sincerely apologize for missing your important celebration last weekend. I understand that my absence was disappointing and may have hurt your feelings. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend due to a sudden family emergency that required my immediate attention. I had every intention of being there and celebrating with you, but circumstances beyond my control prevented me from doing so.
I deeply regret not being present on such a significant day for you. Please know that I truly value our friendship and your efforts in organizing the event.
I am genuinely sorry for
any inconvenience or disappointment my absence may have caused.I deeply regret not sharing in your joy that day, and I am truly disappointed in myself for not supporting you. Please understand that the emergency was completely unforeseen.
I promise to make it up to you and be even more reliable in the future. Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to spending time with you soon.
Yours sincerely,
[Your Name]
