Dear Ms Cosgrove

I do apologise, I have been in a meeting, and I am still looking into this matter.

I have a draft copy of the response that was prepared, but have been unable to obtain a copy of the final version that should have been sent to you.

Unfortunately, it would seem that an administrative error has resulted in the final version not being sent to you by the due date stated, and we apologise sincerely for this error.

I anticipate that I will be able to forward the final response to you by tomorrow at the latest.

Once again, do accept our profuse apologies for the delay, and accept our assurance that this will not happen again.

Thank you
