Dear Mr Rogers,
I am writing to apologise for the misunderstanding which arose regarding Monday's shareholders' meeting. Due to my tight schedule, it was impossible for me to be in attendance at the meeting. I have been intending to apologise since then, but my workload at the office has recently been very heavy and I did not have the opportunity to contact you. It was not my intention to be absent from the meeting, but lately I have been under great pressure and so stressed out. I hope we can reschedule the meeting soon and have a more cordial discussion. I am looking forward to seeing you.
Yours sincerely,
Alan Barker
