INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: [Name]
FROM: [ ]
DATE: [ ]
SUBJECT: [Late direct mail]
A number of people have been out ill and on vacation this week. I have been filling in for [name] and handling questions from other staff covering additional positions. As a result, I have not been able to mail the promotions planned for this week.
[I have managed to mail the first of the four promotions we discussed. What I now plan is to group the remainder of the promotions and mail them all about the end of the month.] I am sorry that I have not been able to meet my anticipated deadlines, but I am trying my best to do what I can.
