I apologize for my extended absence, I understand I have an important role to play in this organization, but there was an unexpected family situation that required my immediate attention.
My son was hospitalized, he had heart disease and we needed to fly him out of the country for surgery. I’m sorry I didn’t inform you sooner. I was destabilized by the whole situation, I informed a member of the team to take over from where I stopped and I hope to join them soon to complete the project. I appreciate your understanding.
Yours sincerely

I hope this letter meets you well, I will not be able to make it to the office due to an urgent family crisis. My son left the tap on at night and the whole house has been flooded by this morning. I couldn’t leave just my husband to handle it alone because the water had ruined most of our properties. I will handle everything that needs to be done today and make sure I resume work tomorrow to attend the business meetings and attend to our clients.
