Check the sentence.

My friend made me send him a parcel, but I didn't have to send the parcel because of some matter.

Can I say this situation like the following?

Please check the sentence.

1. I was going to send the parcel, but I got urgent matter with my boss.

2. I was about to send the parcel, but I got urgent matter with my boss.

  

Top answer

anonymous I got urgent matter with my boss. This part is wrong, and you have it in both sentences, so they are both wrong. Write this: I was about to send the parcel, but I was interrupted with an urgent matter by my boss.
