Dear Mr. /Ms. /Mrs. [Last Name],

I would like to apologize for coming in late to the office (today, yesterday, etc.). It was so unfortunate that the route that I use to travel to work was closed due to road construction, without prior notice. I took another route which was heavily congested that took me [N] hours to traverse.

I understand that punctuality is one of the traits the company values the most, but such circumstance was unforeseeable. I’m taking measures to ensure such incident will not happen again. And I will make sure to inform you ahead of time if any emergencies arise that are beyond my control.

If there is anything I can do to make up for the loss, please do let me know. I value my position as [Position] and I will not let my team down again. 

Thank you very much for your sincere understanding.

Sincerely,

[Name and Signature]
