Sample apology letter for missing an appointment/event or being late


I must offer my deepest apologies for the rudeness and inconsideration I displayed by missing our appointment without call your and explaining the circumstances. It was unprofessional and impolite of me to do so and I hope that I did not keep you waiting for too long.

The reason I failed to appear was that there was an emergency at my maternal house. I had to rush to my in laws to give them a helping hand. While it is no excuse for not calling, such an unexpected emergency made me completely lose my head.

I am normally very organised and clear-headed, but I lost my cool and sense of decorum, which was inexcusable.

I hope that you will consider rescheduling this meeting with me. I have been looking forward to it as a wonderful opportunity to further broaden the area of my research in the field of genetics.

I will call you later this week or you can reach me at 7775 890 985. I appreciate the help you have given me over the past couple of years. You have been a wonderful mentor, and I hope I can be as caring and helpful to others as you have been to me.

Thank you for your understanding and, once again, I am sorry for my thoughtless behaviour.
