Dear Mary,

It is with so much regrets, that I am writing to you. I am truly sorry about missing our dinner date.

I was so caught up with so much work, being given to me by my boss at the office. I lost track of time, and i only got done with my task, When I had only an hour left to arrive before our scheduled appointment. I quickly took a taxi, which was to drop me off at our meeting point. While I was in the taxi I got stuck in a traffic for over an hour, and upon arriving you had already left.

I am truly apologetic about the whole situation. I really feel bad on missing out on this opportunity for us to bond more together. I really wish you could forgive me, i did not intend to miss the dinner, and I am hoping you give me an opportunity to make it up to you.

I really hope I can make it up to you, by sponsoring our second date. At a very nice touristic sight at the Limbe beach, were we will have so much games to play and relief our stress.

Thanks for understanding. I wish to meet you on our next meeting, and I promise to keep to time.

Yours Friendly,

Scott
