Apology Letters to Colleague.
I failed to communicate important information
Dear [Colleague's Name],
I hope this note finds you in good spirits, likely better than mine after realizing the mess I made with the whole “not communicating important information” debacle. Seriously, I could have just gone around with a megaphone shouting “I forgot to tell you!” But alas, my talent for dramatic public announcements was overshadowed by my exceptional ability to forget vital details.
I want to sincerely apologize for being as useful as a chocolate teapot the other day. I know my lack of communication caused some confusion, and for that, I’m truly sorry. It seems I mistook “I’ll get back to you soon” for “I’ll get back to you in a few weeks or maybe the next ice age.” My bad!
Next time, I promise to channel my inner news anchor and ensure you’re kept in the loop — or at the very least, to scribble it down on a sticky note and attach it to my forehead. Whatever it takes!
Thanks for your patience and understanding as I navigate what is essentially a large adulting obstacle course. You deserve a medal for putting up with my shenanigans, and I’m more than happy to contribute to a medal fund if need be!
Looking forward to clearing up any remaining confusion and getting back on track. I truly appreciate your understanding and sense of humor about this whole situation!
Best (and slightly embarrassed) regards,
[Your Name]
