Write a letter to your friend to apologise.
– apologise to your friend

SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear Shasana,
How are you doing? Hope you enjoyed your friend’s wedding reception with other friends. I would like to apologise for not making it at the last minute.
On the same day, I had an emergency. You know that I’m searching for jobs outside India. While I was getting ready for the reception, I got a call all of a sudden from YouGov company, UK. It was a telephonic interview, where I asked about my work experience and recent projects accomplished. After that, they wanted me to do an assignment and send it across immediately. Since it’s a lifetime opportunity, I couldn’t neglect it. So I started working on the project and got approved successfully.
Further, they told me that there will be another round of interviews, including technical and HR. So I’m looking forward to hearing from them.
I’m once again sorry for not coming and not contacting you. I’m free for a couple of days. If you think of meeting, please let me know. I’m glad to come and visit you.
Yours faithfully,
