Hi PreciousJones I think the use of had been seems all right to me. I prefer this: My intention had been to contact Jamal straight (away) after the silly miscommunication on my part, but I've been drowning with call backs and scheduled interviews all week, therefore I would like to convey my apologies for the delayed response.
