sorry for the late notice vs sorry for such a late notice

Both options are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'Sorry for the late notice' is commonly used when apologizing for giving information or making a request on short notice. 'Sorry for such a late notice' is used the same way but highlights the exceptionally late notice.
