Dear Tom,
I am writing
this
letter to apologize for being unable to stay at your place as planned because I have my work business trip
the same week
.
One of our clients wants us to visit their location for us to check all the systems on their location. Their office will be going under renovation, so they want all their computer systems to be updated or replaced. As I am one of the key members in this
system technical position, I am expected to go on this
field business trip
. It's a week
's trip
, but it takes around 2 days to reach the location from my place, so I won't be able to make it up to stay with you as planned.
If it's okay with you, I will be free the next week
after I return from my business trip
, and we can plan a stay for that week
. Let me know if this
plan work
for you.
Talk to you soon,
