A message to say you're late

I'm a punctual person and I'm hardly ever late in any situation. I usually prepare everything in advance so I can start as soon as possible.

I'm hating being late, so usually I'm on the pace earlier. I'm OK for waiting 10-15 minutes, but not more. Then I'm just leaving.

I'm usually on time, because I don't like being late, it makes me feel rushed. I don't mind waiting for someone, even for up to an hour, without getting angry. But after that,  I'll reconsider next time they invite me.

I'm usually on time, because I am a little anxious, and it helps me not to lose track of the time haha. In my opinion, someone is late when it's past ten minutes since the combined time.

My dear friend, I'm sorry, but I'm running late for our lunch. I'm still at work, trying to finish a presentation that my boss requested from me today. 

As soon as I finish this, I'll go straight to your place. I hope you will understand and I promise I will do my best to finish it quickly.

Frankly, I am usually not on time. However, I am trying to fix this negative point as soon as possible because this attitude might bother others or they might see that as a disrespect . 

I'm often on time. I don't like to be late for anything, but sometimes I can't do anything, like when I face traffic jams on the road. Now, I go to my job as early as I can fifteen minutes before the meeting.

I like to arrive on time, but sometimes i'm late and this not by me. So l try not to come late and arrive earlier.

I like to be on time, but sometimes we can not control or predict what will happen on the way, and it is inevitable to not arrive late. So, If I have a work meeting or an interview, I would prefer to arrive early, even If I have to wait for a while.
