Hi Dave,

I would like to sincerely apologize for being unable to attend the annual meeting scheduled for tomorrow. I fully understand its importance, and I am genuinely disappointed that I will not be able to participate with the rest of the team.

Unfortunately, I have a medical appointment that cannot be postponed because it was booked several weeks ago. I immediately contacted the clinic to request another appointment, but the earliest available date is several months away. Therefore, I have no alternative but to miss the meeting, and I truly regret any inconvenience this may cause.

To ensure that I stay updated, I would greatly appreciate it if you could share the meeting notes or presentation after the meeting. I will certainly review all the information, discuss the key decisions with one of my colleagues, and promptly complete any tasks assigned during my absence. Thank you for your understanding. Sincerely,
