You have arranged a weekend holiday with a group of friends, but due to your studies you will now be unable to go with them. Write to your friends and •Tell them why you are unable to go • Say sorry for this • Suggest an alternative activity at another time.

Dear Phoenix and Tony, I hope
this
email finds you well. I want to start by expressing how excited I am about our upcoming weekend holiday. Unfortunately, I am so sorry that I can't join the trip as agreed. The reason is that my college coursework and assignments have unexpectedly pilled up and two of them have to be handled on Monday after the trip.
Therefore
, if I go away, there is a high chance that I will fail these subjects. I'm sorry for the late notice and for letting you down like
this
. I hope you guys will have an enjoyable trip. I can't wait to hear the stories and see the pictures afterwards.
However
, I am eager to catch up and spend some quality time together. How about coming to my hometown in Nha Trang City during our term break? We would have an excellent opportunity to swim in crystal-clear water, relax on sandy shores and scuba dive to explore the vibrant coral reefs. I would make all the arrangements, book bus tickets and prepare the accommodation. I hope
this
plan sounds good to you. Please accept my apology and let me know what you think. Best wishes, Lana
