Sample Notice to explain negligence

Hi Sara,

Hope you’re doing great.

I have been so absorbed with work lately that I had completely forgotten to consider my scheduled work. It’s just this time of the year that I get so much workload. I am writing this letter to apologize for my negligence and to explain any reasons.

I still remember that I had to provide you with the month end reports. I am always very conscious of meeting any deadlines. But our printer was not working properly and to get it fixed, it completely slipped my mind that I had to send you the reports. I have posted all the required reports to you and I hope you will receive them by tomorrow.

Please be advised that I have made a note on my calendar to send these reports timely and I would again like to apologize for my lapse.

With Thanks

Tiffany
