You missed an important meeting at work. Write a letter to your manager. In the letter: -apologize for not attending -explain why you did not attend -say what you will do to make up for it
Dear Sir,
I hope
this
letter finds you well and in good health. I am writing this
to apologize for not attending the BI requirement gathering meeting. I know this
meeting is very important as this
is scheduled with the business to gather the list of tasks we further
need to work on and also
present the dashboards we had completed.
Moreover
, I worked on the presentation document for a week knowing the level of importance. On the day of the schedule, while
I was travelling to work, I got a call from my daughter's school that she had a head injury while
playing football. I had no choice but to attend to her immediately and had to drive her to the emergency room. Therefore
, it was not up to me to make it to the office.
Furthermore
, I already sent an email to the stakeholders apologizing for my absence and requesting another appointment. Also
, I will make sure that the additional slides are added to the PPT including all the remaining items that were finished. This
time I will be present no matter what.
I hope you will accept my apology.
Best Regards,

Use cohesive linking words accurately and appropriately
Linking words are very important in your essay.
To score effectively on your IELTS exam, you should make an effort to implement short concise sentences coupled with linking words.
Almost every sentence in your essay should have a linking word of some sort.
In fact, the only sentences that can omit linking words are your background sentence and thesis.
Linking word examples:
- firstly
- secondly
- thirdly
- in additional
- moreover
- also
- for example
- for instance
- therefore
- however
- although
- even though
- despite
