Dear Mr Smith, I am extremely overwhelmed after receiving your letter regarding the
party
, which will be held on 25th June 2022. I am
also
very thankful to you for giving me
such
an amazing chance to meet newbies and give them small talk.
However
, unfortunately, my MPhil final paper will be on the same day. That's why I am unable to attend the
party
. I am writing
this
letter to apologize for not being able to be a part of
this
party
especially organized for newcomers because of M.Phil exam is on the same
date
.
Moreover
, I have to submit my final thesis paper on the exact same
date
which includes a presentation as well. I am very sorry for
this
inconvenience, but if you move
this
date
a little forward on 26 June 2022, I will surely attend the new student's
party
and will deliver a talk on overseas studies. If
this
date
is convenient for you please let me know at the same address above. I hope you will accept my apology. And I am
also
hoping that everyone one st the college is well. May your
party
will be a great success. Looking forward to
further
hearing from you. Yours faithfully Maham Alvi
