Talking Re: PLease help with these sentences


I suggest the best way u can do it, is by re-formatting the whole sentence, Ma'am..
And the best thing that can pop out of my mind at this kind of time is:

Because of my (our) business, I (we) haven't been able to keep in touch for quite a while..

(hey.. what do you expect from a guy who's very sleepy but still wanna do someone a favor?)

GBu..

Talking My mistake..

Sorry..
My mistake then..
I didn't know that you're a teacher too..
I thought it was your sentence.
I didn't know that it was your student's

NB: Yes, I had a good morning sleep (for about 3 hours)

GBu..
