Your friend who lives in another city has opened a new gift shop. You were unable to attend the inauguration due to an important competition you are a part of. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter you must Congratulate your friend Explain your inability to attend Mention that you will visit soon

Dear Rohan, Hope

this

letter finds you in radiant health and the best of spirits. I am very glad to hear that you have opened a new gift shop in Pune. First of all, very warm congratulations on starting a new business in a metro city. I believe

this

business will attract a lot of tourists and shoppers as everyone likes to give gifts whether that's a birthday party or a marriage ceremony.

Additionally

,

this

business will boost your financial growth as well. It's quite sad that I was not able to attend the inauguration

due to

a conflict with my office competition in the technology department.

Last

month, I enrolled in a computer programming competition whose competition date was the same as your inauguration date.

Otherwise

, I wouldn't have missed your event in any case.

However

, I tried to check on taking office leaves as well but couldn't work as I had to participate in a group of 5 team members.

To sum up

, I promise to visit your home and new shop very soon. I have already applied for leaves in the office system. As soon as they are approved, I will be in Pune in no time as that's a few hours only from my place. Eagerly waiting to meet you in person. Yours lovingly, Ashutosh
