Dear friend!

I’m writing you to excuse, I forgot about your birthday and didn’t attend the celebration. I’m really sorry, that’s my mistake. However, I had one reason why I forgot about your birthday.

As you know I had an exam on Monday and I really stressed about it, because I needed a good mark to stay at school. Unfortunately, your birthday was on Monday too, and I forgot about your celebration. I really sorry.

I feel that I shouldn’t missed it. I understand that you are very angry on me now. I think If I were you, I will take offense too. It’s really heavy to explain, how you can cancel your best friend’s birthday. But I believe, that yoy will forgive me.

Now, to excuse I buy you gift – new mobile phone. I believe, you will like it.

Yourth faithfully

Andrey
