one with a SYMPATHETIC tone,

one with a SARCASTIC tone, and

one with an ANGRY tone.

Answer 1

Sympathetic Note:

Hey [Friend's Name],

I hope everything is okay! I noticed you didn’t make it to our appointment today, and I was a bit worried. I know life can get hectic sometimes, and things might have come up unexpectedly. If you need someone to talk to or if there’s anything I can do to help, just let me know. Take care!

Best,
[Your Name]

Sarcastic Note:

Oh wow, what a surprise! You totally didn’t show up today. I guess you were too busy being fashionably late… or maybe you just forgot we had a plan? Either way, I’m so glad I got to spend a thrilling half-hour waiting for you. Can’t wait for our next adventure!

Cheers,
[Your Name]

Angry Note:

Listen, [Friend's Name],

I waited for you for half an hour today, and you didn’t even bother to call or text. This is extremely frustrating and disrespectful of my time. If you’re going to cancel or be late, at least have the decency to let me know. I expected better from you.
