Dear [Supervisor/Manager's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to apologize for my tardiness to work on [date and time], and to provide an explanation for the delay. On that particular day, I encountered unforeseen circumstances while commuting from my residence in Franklin, Ohio to the workplace. Franklin, Ohio is a small city located in Warren County in the southwestern part of the state. It is known for its rich history, friendly community, and diverse recreational opportunities. One of the main reasons for my tardiness was an unexpected traffic congestion caused by a road accident on [name of road/highway]. As this was the major route I usually take to reach the workplace, it significantly disrupted the usual traffic flow. Several emergency services were present at the scene, extending the time it took for traffic to resume normalcy. Additionally, adverse weather conditions on that day, such as heavy rain or snowfall, might have contributed further to the delay. As safety is always a priority, I had to drive cautiously and adjust my speed accordingly, which inevitably added to the overall time of my commute. I take full responsibility for not anticipating these circumstances and consequently arriving late to work. I understand the inconvenience it may have caused you and the team, and I sincerely apologize for any disruption this may have caused to the workflow. To ensure that such situations do not recur in the future, I will take necessary precautions like monitoring traffic updates, allowing extra travel time, and exploring alternative routes when feasible. I assure you that my commitment to punctuality remains unwavering, and I strive to be more proactive in avoiding unforeseen delays. Once again, please accept my apologies for the tardiness and any inconvenience it may have caused. I appreciate your understanding in this matter. If you require any additional information or have further concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. Thank you for your continued support and understanding. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Employee ID/Designation]
