A friend from abroad is visiting your country next month. She is planning to stay with you, but you cannot accomodate her. Write a letter to her. Tell her the reasons. Aplogise Make alternative arrangements.
Dear Raj,
It's been a long time since to hear from you. I am immensely grateful to hear that you are planning a trip to stay with me.
However
, I feel sad too at the same time, as I have a business trip to New York and would not be able to be with you from January 1st to 15th. I am writing this
letter to express my apology for my inability to accommodate you.
I recently took part in a Corporate Competition and have topped it with flying colours and have to attend a business conference in Newyork. There is also
a self-growth workshop which I would have to complete as a part of the process requirement and it would last
long for 2 weeks.
If it is possible can you postpone your trip, it would be amazing, but in case you have to come in these days only, then
my cousin Pranay, who is in Ahmedabad would be able to accommodate you. He is a Trader who works from home and also
would be able to take the days off. Alternatively, I can also
book you a tour package of Gujarat where you can see the beautiful hill station Abu and spend a great time there.
Do let me know at the earliest so I can make arrangements accordingly
.
Hoping to hear from you soon!
Yours faithfully
