the parents of your Australian friend Chris have invited you to a surprise birthday party for him/her.

Dear Mr and Mrs Collins,

 I really thank you for inviting me to a surprise
birthday
party for Chris. As he is turning 20, the party must have much more meaning for him and your family.
Furthermore
, Chris is the guy who always enjoys something unexpected, so he is definitely going to enjoy the party which you are preparing.

 Even though I fully appreciate that
this
birthday
has special meaning for my friend, Unfortunately, I’m afraid to say that I can not make it
this
time.
That is
because I have to attend a conference held abroad. As a junior engineer, I must attend to support my colleagues because
this
is a pivotal event for my company.

 Actually, I have already made another plan for celebrating his 20th
birthday
, which is a short trip to the USA. We will meet in New York and stay for a couple of days there, visiting some famous art galleries that he has really wanted to visit. 

I feel sad that I can not spend time with your family on his
birthday
, but I hope that everyone, especially Chris, will have fun and unforgettable moments. 


Kind regards,

 Jeongseo Choi.
