Dear Mike, Hope you are doing well. It's been a long time since we met after graduation. I am writing to inform you that I did not meet you

last

month.

First

of all, I would like to say sorry that I did not get a chance to meet you on the day we discussed before because I had to travel to the newly constructed headquarters, which was located in another city for an official visit. I know, my absence had bothered you and made you sad.

However

, I can't postpone my visit to the HQ.

Moreover

, my itinerary has been scheduled indeed. Once again my apologies for

this

. Above all the reasons, I decided to meet you again at my home. As you know my shrine is sited away from the city,

in addition

, it is one of the best places in the town. We can meet

Sunday afternoon for lunch. In fact, my family want to see you

also

. So, let's meet soon. Hope you will consider

this

, I am looking forward to hearing from you. Best wishes, Ravi
