Dear Mark, I hope

this

letter finds you well at home. I am writing

this

letter to say sorry for not coming to your place

this

time. I know you are not going to like

this

, but believe me, I am more disappointed than you. I had made several plans for

this

visit and they are all ruined now. I am extremely sorry for cancelling

this

. Actually, the reason for not coming up

this

time is, that the day we had decided for me to stay at your accommodation is clashing with my business trip. I forgot to tell you about

this

tour which was supposed to happen

month was rescheduled and it is on the same day that I needed to reach your home. Since you know that

this

is essential for my venture and my foreign partners have already booked their tickets for

this

. Due to

this

, I have no choice but to miss our meeting.

Nevertheless

, I assure you, as soon as, I come back from it my

first

priority will be our meeting .You will be glad to know that

month I will come to your place not for just one day but rather for three days to compensate

this

cancellation. See you soon. Best regards, Sourabh Grover
