Hello, Ryan.
I hope everything is going well for you. I am overjoyed to learn that you will be visiting us next month.
However
, I regret to inform you that I will be unavailable on that day.
In fact, next month is our family reunion month, and all of my brothers and sisters will be visiting Sri Lanka. So we planned a month-long journey around the country. As a result
, I am not at home and will be unable to meet you.
Anyway, if you're available in December? It is my university break, and we can meet at my house.We will plan an unforgettable time together at that time.
Please let me know if you are free in December.
Your Closest Friend
