Dear John,

The reason why I am writing this letter to you is that I want to apologize to you that I missed your party two days ago.

At the outset, I would like to explain the root of the essue. The fault can be traced back to soma factors, including I took an exam in order to study in the colleg, as a result of which I did not attend. I would like to tell to you that the test is so important for me becouse if I did not go to the exam I could not passed the exam.

Secendly, I sincerly apologize to you that I could not visited your house on time. I should not have done the test and I feel terribly sorry this work. It was ny fault and I now realize how I offened. Moreover, I could contact to you becouse I lose my phone in a shop. Please, accept my sincere apology.

Lastly, I would be grateful if you could change meeting day. In addition, you have my word that I never late your parties and I are able to attend.

I am looking forward to hearing you as soon as possibly.
