While leaving for work on the morning of [Date(s)], I encountered an unforeseen traffic jam caused by a major road accident on [Specify road/highway]. Traffic was at a standstill for over an hour, and despite my best efforts to find alternative routes, the situation hindered my progress significantly.

I assure you that I understand the value of punctuality, especially in the workplace, and I am committed to improving my timeliness moving forward. You're understanding and continued support are greatly appreciated during this time. Once again, I apologize for any inconvenience my tardiness may have caused.
