Dear Alan,

I'm writing to apologize about last Thursday. I am terribly sorry that I didn't go to see you, for I lost my wallet. Anyway, I found it. But it was too late for the train. I had to take the bus. What a pity that I took a wrong one. It went to Milford. There, I waited for half an hour for a bus to Driffield. It was much worse that on the way to your home, the bus broke down. So I just went back home to Pigston. I really do apologize because I didn't speak to you on the phone, but it wasn't my fault. I tried several times, but there was no answer.

Anyway, how about next Thursday?

Love,

Tom
