An apology message to a friend

Drafts two versions of an apology for missing a friend’s occasion, with congratulations and a suggested meeting.

What you send

Write an apology message to my friend for missing the event and letting him know late in two versions: one brief and one a little warmer. Include congratulations and a suggested meeting, suitable for WhatsApp without exaggeration or a long explanation.

Name: Ahmed. Friend: Mahmoud. Occasion: his graduation celebration on 3 October 2026. I promised to attend but missed it because my car broke down unexpectedly, and I only messaged him after the celebration ended. I want to apologize for missing it and letting him know late, congratulate him and suggest meeting at the weekend. I prefer a short, sincere WhatsApp message without a long explanation.

What you get

Brief version

Hi Mahmoud, I’m really sorry I missed your graduation celebration on 3 October. My car broke down unexpectedly, and I only messaged you after the event ended, which I know wasn’t fair. Congratulations again — you deserve it. If you’re free, let’s meet this weekend.
— Ahmed

Warmer version

Hi Mahmoud, I’m truly sorry I missed your graduation celebration on 3 October. My car broke down unexpectedly, and I feel bad that I only told you after the event was over. You worked hard for this, and I’m really proud of you. Congratulations — I hope you had a great time. Let’s meet this weekend if you’re free.
— Ahmed
