Dear Jaskaran It’s been so long since we

last

were in touch but I haven’t forgotten all the wonderful times we spent together

last

year. I’m just writing to let you know that I won’t be able to make it to your house in two weeks, as planned before. I feel really bad about it because I know that we have been planning it since

last

June. Believe me, I am more disappointed in myself than you are. I was really excited about

this

, but it's all ruined now. There was

this

trip planned by my boss

that is

coming up around the same week I was supposed to come and meet you. My boss sent me a memo about it too but it just got lost in the email and I forgot about it. Just yesterday when I got a reminder from him, I was stunned. Sadly,

this

trip is important for my boss and I can’t miss it. We should definitely make plans for next time when we are both free. I’ll be back from

this

trip within a week. If you are free still, I’ll come by for three days. Lots of love. Best wishes Navdeep Kaur
