You Were Late for Work Due to Some Unavoidable Issues at Home

For the past seven days, you were late for work due to some unavoidable issues at home. Write a letter to your manager explaining why you were late for work for several days. In your letter,

  • · Explain why you were late for the last seven days
  • · Apologize for the delay
  • · Assure your manager that you will be on time from now on

Dear Mam,

This is Anjali Sharma, working as an Asst. The manager in the Accounts Department wanted to inform you that I could not manage to come on time last week continuously because of some unavoidable personal reasons.

I hope you remember during my interview and I mentioned that I am a single mother of two kids aged 5 and 7 years old. I moved here recently from my home town, and I was busy arranging accommodation for us along with admission procedures for both my kids. I hope you understand that managing everything all alone is a little difficult. Fortunately, everything has been done now.

I wanted to apologize for not coming on time last week and also want to promise that from now on, I will always keep my personal and professional life separate. It will never be repeated in the future.

Thank you so much for understanding.

Thanking you,
