My Dear __________

I am sincerely asking you for an apology. On that day, as I have received a phone call regarding my wife’s health issue, I had to run away to the hospital leaving behind you in the cinema hall. 

I was in dilemma of what was happening as I didn’t expect this accident. My wife had met with an accident when a lorry dashed her into a truck on the road. She is safe now after 3 weeks in hospital. I have got a free time now to ask you for an apology.

Hope so you will understand
