Band 5+: You were supposed to attend a family gathering but were unable to make it at the last minute due to unforeseen circumstances. Write a letter to your family apologizing for your absence. You should include details about: - the reason for your absence - how you feel about missing the gathering - what you plan to do to make it up to them in the future.

Hi folks,

I hope all doing great! I am writing this letter to inform you all that unfortunately I could not able to attend the family gathering due to sudden meeting with international clients.

I recently received a email saying some of the clients travelling to company on the same as we arranged for gathering. I tried to reshedule to other day but I could not since it’s a overall managers meeting and they need my presence there.

I regret a lot about this because family time we used to have once in a while and it been planned more a month ago. I was so excited to meet you all and explore the fun activities which we usually do on that prestigious day such as cooking, fishing and playing bet match. I started dreaming about this since we planned for the gathering. My bad! this year I wouldn’t be there.

Although current situtation not letting me to travel and meet you all but technology showed us a new way to make video call. I totally understand that in-person gives you the different kind of experience than being online. Hopefully next year whatever difficult situtations may arise I will definitely be there for sure. Miss you all guys! enjoy well on behalf of me as well and dont forget to share pictures with me.

with love,

Kiki
