Dear Mr. Stinson.
I apologize for coming late to the division meeting this morning. One of. my staff came to my office with a serious personal problem and I had make a choice.
I stayed to talk with him I realize that I missed an opportunity to give my report. I hope I can still give it in our next meeting. I know it must be frustrating for you to not have my information at the outset. I fully support the division’s initiatives and want to do my best-to contribute to them.
Sincerely,
su
