Dear Phoenix,
I just received your invitation letter to your birthday

. Thank you for inviting me. Turning 40 years old is an important milestone in life. Therefore

special occasion with you.
Unfortunately, I am afraid that I cannot attend your party
. My brother is getting married and he will celebrate his wedding party
on the same day as yours. As this
is an important family event, I cannot be absent.
However
, I am eager to catch up and spend time with you. Given that I cannot come to your party
, how about if we plan a get-together a
later day? We can grab some coffee, have lunch or simply spend some quality time together and have your birthday Change preposition
for a
party
in our own way. I’m flexible with my schedule and am committed to finding a time that works for both of us.
Once again, thank you for inviting me to your birthday party
. I hope you will have a fantastic event filled with joy and wonderful memories.
Lots of love,
