Dear @JeromeFJ,
I am writing to sincerely apologize for missing the drive yesterday. I was unfortunately unwell and had a high fever, which prevented me from attending. I know I missed out on a great opportunity to enjoy the beautiful weather and camaraderie with everyone, and I deeply regret my absence.
Please accept my heartfelt apologies for any inconvenience or disappointment my absence may have caused. I value our shared passion for driving and wish I could have been there to share in the experience.
I hope everyone had a wonderful time, and I look forward to joining you on future drives.
