道歉信

Dear Tom,I am afraid that I cannot pick you up at the airport tonight, and I’m really sorry for not doing as what I promised.I know there is no excuse for my fault, but I hope that after I tell you the reason, you can forgive me once.The new boss of my company urgently called all of the staffs together to have a meeting tonight, no one can ask for leaving.So I cannot get out of our company at the time when you arrive in our city.To make you smoothly get back to your hotel, I rent a taxi to pick you up, so please just wait for the call from the taxi driver, and we will meet each other tomorrow morning.Sincerely yours,Mary
