Hey [Friend’s Name],

I hope you’re doing well. I just wanted to say I’m really sorry for missing your birthday party last weekend.

Honestly, I had been looking forward to it for weeks, but out of nowhere, I got stuck with a last-minute work emergency. I had to cover for a teammate who called in sick, and there was no way out of it. Trust me, I was so bummed about missing all the fun and not getting to celebrate with you.

How about we catch up properly soon? Maybe we could grab dinner or hit that new cafe you were telling me about. My schedule’s finally clearing up, so just tell me when you’re free and I’m there.

Really sorry again, and I hope you had an amazing time!

Talk soon,

[Your Name]
