I'm running 10 mins late, sorry!
No problem!
Aargh! Traffic is really bad. I'll be more than 10 mins late now, sorry again!!
It's OK, don't worry. I'm in the café already so it's fine

OK, LMK when you find a place
I might get something to eat tho
Of course! I'll be as quick as I can
OK!
Found one! Be there in 10 mins

Tips
1. You don't need to write complete sentences for text messages.
2. Use abbreviations like LMK (= let me know) or use emojis to save time writing.
3. You don't need to use full stops (.) at the end of messages.
4. Say how many minutes you think you'll need, e.g. I'm running 10 minutes late.
5. It’s good to say sorry and sorry again, but you don't need to say sorry in every message.
If there is no excuse, i like to be punctual person. But usually my friends who come late, i can still tolerate it if it's that less than 30 minutes. If you have friend like that, maybe you can arrange an earlier appointment time so everyone will gather on time.
