Hey,  (имядруга/подруги). You probably don't want to speak to me or see me. I understand. I just want tosay I'm sorry I missed your birthday party. I know that I hurt your feelings but I couldn’t come. It soundsstupid, I know that, but I had my hair cut and I didn’t like it at all…I heard that Paul was also invited to yourparty and you know how much I like him… I didn't want him to see me like this. I'm sorry for being such a terriblefriend. I feel embarrassed and ashamed.

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

Kisses and hugs,

your best (now sad) friend Amy.
