A friend who lives in a different city has invited you to his/her daughter's 8th birthday. However, you can not accept the invitation due to some personal reasons. Write a letter to this friend. In your letter: thank him for the invitation mention why you can not attend the birthday party offer to meet him some other day

Dear friend, I hope
this
letter finds you well. I wanted to thank you for inviting me to your sweet daughter's birthday. Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend the birthday party and I will be missing the day for sure. I will make sure I attend the next birthday party. I am having my workshop organized by the company later
this
week. I am hoping that it will
last
for two weeks.
This
workshop is very important for me and it will eventually help me in my office work. I wish I could do anything to make it possible. I hope you will understand my situation.
Also
, I am planning to pay a visit to your place by the end of
this
month.
This
way we can meet and enjoy our days in the northern hills. I am very positive to hear good news from your side soon. Eagerly, waiting for your response. Regards, Ahsan Ali

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
