Dear Toke,

 How are you? I hope you’ve been well. I am sorry for bailing on you the last time we planned to catch up.

 I’m sure you still remember my grandma from my birthday celebration last year? She had been diagnosed with cancer for some years now and it’s getting worse. I had to stay with her at the hospital throughout last week which was why I couldn’t catch up with you.

I’m extremely sorry for not making the appointment as I’m sure you were looking forward to it. It’s been some months now that we have been unable to meet up.

Luckily, my annual leave at work starts next week and will be keen on making another plan for the weekend. We could go on a weekend trip to the sunny coast and visit the museum or zoo. Let me know if this would fit in your calendar.

I hope we’ll be able to meet next weekend.

Kind Regards,

Olamide
