Dear John
Hi, hope you are in the best of health and spirits. Writing
this
piece of paper to give my heartiest congratulations on your new shop which you have opened recently and also
want to apologise for not attending your opening ceremony.
I am very glad that you have proved your capability with your dedication and passion, as you always wished to run your own business and I think this
new venture has accomplished your dreams. However
, I was not able to come on your auspicious day
because of some inevitable reason, actually on the same day
my company has organized an inter-department competition which was mandatory for every employee to attend.
I have seen a few pictures of your new shop on Facebook which have been posted by you. Not only it seems very attractive and well organized, but also
the interior decoration is fabulous. Moreover
, I have seen some items which my mother had bought from your shop and it increased my excitement to visit your place. So, next
week when my employer grants me leave, I will definitely visit your place to buy something superior item for me as you know I am very shopaholic person.
Looking forward to meeting you soon and wishing your business will flourish day
by day
and you will have lots of customers.
With Love
