- What was the reason for your absence?

- When do you plan to meet with him/her again?

Dearest Justin,

Let me start off by straightaway apologizing for my inability to come to meet you yesterday. I am really very sorry that even after deciding weeks ago to meet up, I couldn’t make it.

I actually tried to call you an hour before we were supposed to meet, to tell you that I won’t be coming. Unfortunately your phone was out of network reach. That is why I had to leave you a prompt message. I actually had to go meet a client on an urgent basis who had flown in from Bangalore, and was only there in the city for 4 hours. My boss had called me saying I should immediately go and meet him to discuss some work policies, and I knew I wouldn’t make it in time to meet you as well.

I am planning to meet you in the coming week, and this time I’ll make sure there are no cancellations. We can go watch the ‘Cricket World Cup finale’ in a very popular sports café in the city, and later dine together.

I’m hoping I meet you very soon. Take care and give my regards to all.

Lots of love,

XYZ.
