Dear Mike,

I hope you are doing well. I am writing to sincerely apologize for missing your birthday party last weekend. I know how much the day meant to you, and I genuinely regret not being there to celebrate with you and our friends.

The reason for my absence was that I was unexpectedly asked to work late on an urgent project at the office. By the time I finished, it was already too late to join the gathering, and I did not want to disturb you when you were enjoying your special evening. Please accept my heartfelt apologies for letting you down.

Although I could not be there, I want to make it up to you. How about we meet for dinner this week at your favourite restaurant? It would be great to spend some time together and celebrate properly, even if belated.

Wishing you a wonderful year ahead.

Warm regards,
[Your Name]
