Band 5+: You attended a formal dinner party hosted by a colleague, but you arrived very late and had to leave early. Write a letter to your colleague apologizing for your behavior. You should include details about: - why you were late and why you had to leave early - how much you enjoyed the evening despite the circumstances - an invitation to meet up another time to make amends.

Dear colleague,

How are you? I am writing to apologize for arriving late to your dinner party and for having to leave earlier.

Unfortunately, I was late because of rain that cause a heavy traffic. After I left my home, I remembered that I forgot my Cinderella. So I was waiting my driver through the rain.

I felt disappointed about missing most of the evening, especially after all the effort you put into organizing such a great event. I was forward thinking about how spent time with you on this meeting.

To make it up to you, I would love to take you out for a walk or coffee sometime soon. It would be great opportunity for me to thank you for your invitation and enjoy the day with you without interruptions.

Once again, please accept my apologies, and thank you so much for your understanding.

With appreciation, your Zere
