Overall Feedback

The letter effectively addresses the task with a clear apology and explanation, but could improve coherence with smoother transitions. Grammar is mostly accurate, though some sentences could be more concise, and vocabulary is appropriate but lacks variety.

Dear Mark,
I’m writing this letter to express my sincerest apology for not being present at your birthday party. It was not intentional, as I had an unplanned emergency at home which required urgent attention. I also didn’t think it was a good idea to call and inform you at the time of the emergency, so it doesn’t spoil or affect your positive mood during your activity.
Additionally, I’d like to let you know I’m sorry I was not able to make it
for
the event, I know this would have caused you disappointment and worry. Considering I had a notable part to play in the event, I’d normally not miss it for anything if not for the unforeseen event. Once again, accept my apology
Beyond that, I sincerely regret I couldn’t join you in celebrating your special day. I promise to make it up to you by being more reliable in the future, even though in this case, it was totally out of my control
Looking forward to hearing from you
Best Wishes,
Frank
