Dear Mr. Jones,
 
 

I am very sorry indeed at not being able to attend the meeting of last ____ (date : Wednesday...). The reason for it, as I am sure my colleague will have told you, is that ____ (explanation : my plane from Brussels was over two hours late and I could not catch an earlier flight...).

As you well know, I was ____ (explanation : in the Belgian capital to meet Mr. ______ (state name), a European Commission Policy Adviser, and an essential element in the contract we are presentlynegotiating together. In fact, he is the one to get us the authorization for a European diffusion ofthe product we are jointly developing).

May I add that ____ (explanation : my trip, and therefore my missing our appointment, was howeververy fruitful as I was able to convince Mr. _____ (state name) to give his support to our project. It may not be an excuse for my absence, but I think it is in thecase a good compensation).

Thanks in advance for sending me a copy of the minutes which I look forward to receive at yourearliest convenience.

Once again, my sincere apologies. Hoping to see you very soon.

Best Regards

___ (sender)
