Dear Laylo,

I hope you are doing well. I’m writing to sincerely apologize for missing our lunch today. I feel really bad about it and wanted to explain what happened.

Unfortunately, I completely forgot about our plans because my morning was very hectic. I had an unexpected work issue come up, and I was so focused on dealing with it that the lunch completely slipped my mind. That’s no excuse, of course, and I’m really sorry for leaving you waiting.

Please forgive me for this mistake. I value our friendship and would never intentionally miss meeting you. I hope you weren’t too inconvenienced.

If you’re free, I’d love to make it up to you. How about meeting this Saturday at the same café around 1 p.m.? Lunch is on me this time.

Sorry again, and I hope to see you soon.

Best wishes,

Aziza
