Dear Mr Jones, I am writing you in order to explain my reasons for arriving late to the meeting today. Unfortunately, i had an unavoidable situation wich was to take my grandparent to the hospital at 9 am, causing me a late arrival to the office around 11 am. My grandparent is 90 years old and suffers from heart disease since he was 70 years old. Since he woke up feeling not very well and as i was the only relative available at that time, I had no other option but to rush to the hospital in order to get him observed by a doctor as soon as possible. I am very sorry for this inconvenience which i could not foresee and in order to compensate my absence of two hours, i am willing to work overtime on wednesday and thursday leaving the office at 7 pm instead of 6 PM. I hope you understand my circumstantances. Kind regards, Pablo
