Write a letter when you missed our important training at your workplace.

Band 9 Answer

Dear Manager,

I am writing to extend my sincere apologies for missing the mandatory training session held on April 15, 2025. I understand that this training is crucial for our professional development and the smooth operation of our department, and I deeply regret my absence.

Unfortunately, I experienced an unforeseen medical emergency that required immediate attention, which left me unable to attend the session. Although I attempted to notify my supervisor as soon as possible, I realize that my absence may have caused inconvenience to both the team and the training organizers.

To ensure that I catch up on the missed content, I have already arranged to review all the training materials and scheduled a meeting with a colleague who attended the session. I am committed to making up for this lapse and will take every necessary step to ensure that such an incident does not occur again in the future.

Thank you for your understanding and patience regarding this matter. Please feel free to contact me if you require any further clarification or wish to discuss this issue in more detail.

Yours sincerely,
Rebecca Turner
