Hey,  (имя друга/подруги). You probably don't want to speak to me or see me. I understand. I just want to say I'm sorry I missed your birthday party.  I know that I hurt your feelings but I couldn’t come. I know it sounds stupid but I had my hair cut and I didn’t like it at all… I heard that Rick was also invited to your party and you know how much I like him… I'm sorry for being such a terrible friend. I feel embarrassed and ashamed.

By the way, how was the party? I hope you had fun and received a lot of cool presents. Talking about presents, I’m sorry that my present for you is still at home, so tell me if you want to see me this week. We could have some grilled fish at that old restaurant by the sea. I’d be glad to give my present  to you, at last. Once again – I’m sorry… Please, forgive me. I can’t believe I was so stupid. You know you are my best friend and I love you very much.

Kisses and hugs,

your bestest (now sad) friend Flora.
