What do I tell my angry boss? Please help?

So I had to take a day off yesterday from work because I had a meeting at a subsidiary company. The person who called for the meeting told me that she (let's call her A) would send an email to my boss informing him about it. But I just saw a mail from my boss today saying that I should've informed him about it instead of him finding out about it from outside the company.

I was surprised since I thought he received the mail but I checked and saw that A had sent the mail to another person instead of my boss.

I need to send him a reply email now. What do I say?

Good morning/evening/afternoon [insert boss' name here],

 

I would like to start by apologising for the apparent miscommunication that has occurred. I was scheduled for a meeting at [insert subsidiary company here], and in order to attend this, I would've needed to take the day off work in order to do so. [insert caller's name here] from the company said that she would brief you in on this via e-mail, however I now know this was not sent to you. I realise now, in order to prevent what has occurred, that I should've also let you know myself. I believed you had received the e-mail to alert you on the matter from [insert caller's name here], but I checked to see that the e-mail was sent to another member of the team, instead of being sent directly you to. Once again, I apologise for this discrepancy, and will make sure to inform you in future situations. 

 

Have a lovely day/evening.

 

Kind regards,

 

[insert your name here]

Tell him the truth, there was a confusion and you thought he would be informed properly. Apologize and tell him it won't happen again. He's kinda right though, you should also let him know if you're taking a day off

 

I really thought that he had been informed about it :/

I did send him a mail after the meeting to let him know that I wasn't able to come to office because of the meeting but he had already found out about it from outside the company.

 

If you HAVE to reply to the email, I say tell him you apologize and it won't happen again. Otherwise, I'd keep it moving, But keep records of everything. But if it's a subsidiary company, why would he be angry?

 

Yeah idk I guess he just didn't like not knowing about it first.
