WRITING A COVER LETTER

Dear  {Recipient} , I am writing to apologize for my absence during {event}. I know you expected me to be there, and it was important that I attend, but I was simply unable to make it. I hope you won't see this as a reflection of who I am as a whole. Ordinarily, when I make a promise, I am able to keep it, so I am both sorry and embarrassed that I was not able to be true to my word in this case. Please call me as soon as you can. We can discuss the matter, and I can begin to make amends for my inability to follow through. Sincerely, {Sender}

Dear Mr. Wilson, This letter is to convey my sincerest apologies for being absent from work on June 1 to July 1, 2009.  My mother suffered from a stroke and was hospitalized for two weeks at the London Hospital.  Since I was the only child without her own family, I was the only one capable of ensuring her recovery. I am really sorry I was not able to file a leave of absence from work before leaving.  I did not have the time to process the document since I was the one who rushed my mother to the hospital.  Please allow me to return to work immediately and make up for my absence.  I will spend longer work hours for as long as needed to finish the necessary workload. Thank you and I hope for your understanding. Sincerely, Bob Blackstone Sales Representative

Dear pal Ron, I am writing this letter to convey you my apologies and repentance for not being present at the birthday party of yours. It has been quite a fight against my own desires. But, I guess, you would have advised me the same thing which I did. The  auditions  for the State Dance Champion is approaching me at a break neck speed and I have been required to be on my toes with all the rehearsals and practice happening in a consecutive manner. On your birthday, the practice lasted for nine hours. I hope that at least my gift reached you in time. I hope you will forgive me for this. I am looking forward to hear from you as soon as possible and even more eager to see you on my  audition  day. I may be asking for too much; but you know how relaxed I feel in your company. Yours friendly, Neville 

Hi {Receiver}, I’m really sorry for missing out on {event}! I actually wanted to go, but I {reason for not going}. It probably isn’t a very good excuse, considering how important this event was to you. But don’t worry; I don’t plan on missing the next one. Even though I wasn’t there this time, you can always count on me to have your back in the future. And judging from what people have said, it sounds like I totally missed out. I would really l ove to go to the next one if you’ll have me. Sincerely, {Sender}

Dear {Recipient}, I am so sorry that I was unable to attend {name of event}. You might laugh when you hear the reason I was unable to go. {Story about not attending} Crazy, right? I know, I know. That could only happen to me. I promise, at a future {name of event}, I will be there with bells on, ready to make up for all I missed this time around. So don't hold this against me, okay? I'll be expecting my invitation when you do this again. Until next time, {Sender}

Dear, I am extremely sorry for not attending your sister’s engagement. Believe me it was not intentional. As I started my car to reach your place with my sister a truck almost rammed into our car but with god’s grace nothing serious happened .I lost control and hit an old man. He was bruised and bleeding from the leg and the crowd didn’t allow us to move from there. We had to take the person to the hospital and there also the doctors were not ready to take him as it was an accident case. By then the police also reached there and made a huge scene about it.Finally we managed to convince the doctor and the police about what had happened. The man was discharged with some stitches but due to all this we almost spent hours in the hospital after that we had to go along with the police to the station to explain what had happened and for some paperwork. By the time we were out it was very late in the night. I understand how you would have felt and apologize about the same. I would personally c...

Dear Sister, I am sorry that we cannot attend your son (name of the son) 1st birthday party. As you are aware it is the same day that my sister in law is getting married .The marriage is in Dubai and I being the only daughter in law I have to be there. I wish I could express the dilemma I am in because my nephews birthday was something that I was looking forward to and I had convinced my in-laws to conduct the ,marriage on some other date  but for some unforeseen instances it had to be changed to the particular date. This time I couldn’t say anything as that is the only auspicious day available .Even my sister in law was feeling bad about it but she could hardly change my in laws decision as they had checked with the astrologer about the date. I understand that it is the first birthday and I am the only aunt he has but I really can’t help it. I promise once I come back from Dubai I would definitely make a visit to your place. I sorry again I know you had great plans for us .I hope ...

Date Place Dear friend I hope this letter finds you and your family in the best of health and spirits. I am truly sorry and embarrassed that I couldn’t be available at your marriage ceremony. Due to some urgent office work I had to fly out of city and I was not in the town on your day of marriage so couldn’t make myself for the function. I deeply missed the function and it would have been great to see you getting married. I felt happy when heard that everything went fine on the day. Marriage is once in a lifetime moment in anyone’s life and hope that you will get all pleasures of it. I will come to see you and bride soon. Wish you happy married life. Give my love to everyone else in the family. Yours Name Apologies  For  Not  Being Able To  Attend Wedding
