Apology Letter for not Attending Meeting due to Illness

Letters Kate

Meetings are conducted in almost every business, and it is very important for every employee to attend them. In meetings, very important decisions are made, and some very important reports are also made. Every employee must participate in the meeting because the company’s future is determined there.

There are some situations when a person is not able to attend a meeting for many reasons. One of the most common reasons is illness. If an employee is ill and unable to participate in the meeting, they need to inform everyone before the meeting starts. It is quite possible that the company may reschedule the meeting so that the presence of every participant is ensured.

One of the best ways to inform the company about your actions is to write an apology letter for being ill.

How to write an apology letter?

The apology letter should start with information about the employee so the employer can identify them. You can also add your employee ID number to make identification easier.

Write some details about the illness that you are facing. To prove that you are ill, attach some documents with the letter that can support your statements, such as a doctor’s prescription, medical certificate, and more.

Also, mention in the letter that you tried to delay your doctor’s appointment but couldn’t for some reason.

End the letter by hoping that the employer will understand your situation. If the employee has rescheduled the meeting, inform the employee that you will attend with passion and interest. Also, thank him for rescheduling the meeting for you.

Few Tips for writing an apology letter:

  1. Keep the tone of the letter formal.
  2. Write the letter so the employer can feel your guilt for not attending the meeting.
  3. Attach the documents that can prove that you were ill on that day

Hope you had a very productive meeting yesterday.

I know this meeting was scheduled a week ago. I had done all my preparations for the presentation. But I woke up in the morning with a bad migraine. I have been suffering from these headaches for quite a long time now, and migraine makes me slow and weak.

So, as a last resort, I had to email you the presentation and take a day off from work, which means skipping the meeting as well. I have just received the minutes of the meeting, and I will review them before coming back to work.

Thanks for understanding the situation.

Sincerely,
