A personal letter used for work purposes becomes by definition a "business letter". It should include your street address, city/state and zip code and today's date on 3 lines, top right. Skip two lines. On the left, your boss's full name, business address, city/state/zip code. Skip two lines. Dear (Ms. Last Name) or Mrs. or Mr. Skip two lines.
Begin the body of your letter next. "Excuse" letters should be short and to the point. It should express REGRET without stating a bunch of worthless apologies.
As a separate paragraph, include one or two lines stating HOW you will correct the problem in the future! If it was a one-time incident that likely will not be repeated, state that.
After that paragraph, skip 2 lines, write "Sincerely" comma. Skip 4 to 6 lines (6 for handwritten) and in that big space, WRITE your name. Skip a line or 2. Now PRINT your name.
Example of the body of an excuse letter:
Today on the way to work, a semi-tractor trailer skidded on the highway about a mile ahead of me. Traffic quickly backed up to a stand-still. The police arrived within 10 minutes and directed traffic around the wrecked truck. But by then, I was already late for work.
I called to inform my office as soon as I realized I'd be late. In the future, I will leave my house 10 minutes earlier to give myself extra time, in case an unusual event like this occurs.
Sincerely,
Example 2:
My babysitter did not show up to take care of my child. Therefore, I needed to drive my child to a relative's house, which made me late to start my shift.
I regret this happened. I will find more reliable child care and reliable back-up so this will not occur again.
Sincerely,
NOTE: Whatever you say in your letter is giving your word that it will not happen again. So do everything possible to live up to your words.
