Dear [Recipient Name],

I am writing to be transparent about the reason for my absence from [work/school/event] on [specific date(s)]. The truth is that [honestly explain the reason, such as a personal issue, family emergency, or other valid reason] prevented me from attending.

I understand the importance of my presence, and I apologize for any disruption this may have caused. I am committed to catching up on any missed work and ensuring that this does not affect my overall performance.

Please let me know how I can make up for the time missed. I appreciate your understanding.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
