Homework about a letter of apology.
A friend and I had planned to stay with an English friend at their home for a week in June. Because of a last -minute problem, I can't go.
The exercice is to write a letter to my friend.-Explain why you can't come to.
- Apologize. (write from 120 to 160 words)
Any mistakes? Let me know, please
Dear Niall,
View I am not able to reach you by phone. I thought the best way to send you this unexpected information, will be a letter flavoured through a regard of disappointment.
Due we had arranged to stay with an English friend at their cottage in Corsica. I am going to remind that I have applied for a position of diver at Trinidad and Tobago
. A week ago, this compagny called me for an interview. Meanwhile I have to cancel our meeting in corsica. All my apologies about that, in spite of it was very important for each of us. As you were knowing this opportunity is a dream which I may enable to acquire my dream. I do hope my blunder will not affect our relationship. Sincerely Slainte

Answering to Sitelle
hello, and thank you This is a new version of my exercice.
The fact, I am not able to reach you by phone. I thought the best way to send you this unexpected information, will be a letter providing a touch of disappointment.
As promised, we had arranged to stay with an English friend at his cottage in Corsica. I am going to remind you that I have applied for a position of diver at Trinidad and Tobago. A week ago, the compagny rang me about an interview. Meanwhile I have to cancel our meeting in Corsica. All my apologies about that , in spite of it was very important for each of us. As you know, this is a dream of which the opportunity may build my goal. I do hope my blunder will not affect our relationship. Sincerely Slainte

-At the last correction, I had written down at the beginning of the letter The Fact. In next, you corrected me by Since. I don't understand, why you are annoyed that I have written The fact. About myself, both the fact and Since make sense.
There is a difference from each of them.
My opinion since means from a date which either complete or uncompleted.
The fact is a reality of the story. Both of them don't mean the same signification but are able to make a sense.
In conclusion, The fact is as good as Since.
About my second mistake, I am completely agree with
, I don't know what have done. Then, I would write instead " I am going to remind you "i would like to say you, thank you so much to get an interest about my exercice

On emploie 'the fact' dans une tournure telle que : "the fact is that+une proposition complète: par ex. 'the fact is that I don't understand why you use this phrase'. C'est plus explicite comme ça?
