I am writing to send my apologies that I will not be able to take part in Chris’s birthday

party

. I think that Chris will enjoy the

party

because he has

such

a thoughtful and kind parent that has decided to plan a

party

and invite his friends. On top of that, I am sure he will be proud of you for creating

such

an amazing chance for him to be happy and have fun with his lovely friends. I am sorry to say that I cannot join

this

birthday

party

since I have a very important job interview in a company

that is

a valuable opportunity for me to get employed. What’s more, if I get the job, I am sure that I will have a high position which will provide job security and financial opportunities.

Although

I, unfortunately, cannot attend the

party

, I will send a message to Chris to set a time and meet each other at the park, and I will apologize for not coming to

this

gathering.

However

, I will send a worthy gift to him beforehand. I look forward to your reply. Best regards, Kambiz Pirzad

The Greeting

Depending on the style and aim of the letter, you will need to adapt your greeting.

Always start an informal letter in the ways:

Dear + name
Hi / Hello + name

‘Dear...’ is more appropriate, so stick with this.

For a formal letter there are two options for the greeting:

Use Dear Sir or Madam if you don’t know the name of the person you are writing to.
Use Dear + surname if you do know their name, e.g. Dear Mr Smith or Dear Mrs Jones.
