Dear Jude,
I hope you are doing well. Thank you for inviting me to your engagement. I am writing to let you know of my inability to attend the celebration.
Hearty congratulations! I am happy that you are
finally
getting engaged. We have always spoken about how you are the only one left in our group who is unmarried. I am already feeling terrible about not being able to attend. Although
my office work is chilled out these days, a project deployment is scheduled as well on your betrothal date. Moreover
, I tried arranging a backup for myself to carry out the delivery but was unsuccessful.
Nonetheless
, I bought a present for the ceremony, which I wanted to surprise you with in person, but am compelled to tell you about it so that it does not face any issues with the Customs department. I am sending a Rolex watch, and the package contains the invoice and proof of the customs duty paid for the same. I hope you will like it.
Do let me know about the wedding date so that I can make advance arrangements for the same, as I do not want to miss being with you then
. All the best for the event and have a blast.
See you soon.
Yours sincerely,
