Hi,
I've got some questions about reason and cause:

1. Both of them can be used in the sentences in the original post, but do they give the same meaning?

2. Is there any difference between the following 2 sentences:
- I didn't sit the final exam because of a special reason.
- I didn't sit the final exam due to a special cause.

Thank you in advance.

Neither of these is natural English. Can you think of other examples?
