Dear Amanda,
I'm writing to say how sorry I am for not turning up yesterday. Please give me a chance to explain and apologize,
I was just about to leave my house last night when I got a phone call from my elder brother Victor It turned out that our aunt Tania had fallen and hurt her leg and I had to drive her to the hospital as she had no other way of getting there. It happened so quickly that I didn't have time to phone you. Please forgive me and have dinner with me tonight Love,
Martha
