#friend #visit #month #change #plans #time
Dear Jass, Hello, how are you? I hope you are doing great. I am writing
this
 letter to tell you that I will not be able to meet you
due to
 some unforeseen meetings in Dubai. I am extremely sorry for that. Unfortunately, I will have to go there because I have been working on
this
 project for the past two years and do not want to miss
this
 chance at all. As you already know, I always have to manage my business on my own.
That is
 why; there are so many problems which I am facing regularly. My manager booked my flight for the same day when we decided to meet at my place. I will come back next month on your birthday.
However
,
this
 plan does not go as we scheduled, but I will definitely come to your house and we celebrate your birthday together. Say hello to your mother. Hope to see you soon. Best Regards, TS

Task Response
Ensure that the reasons for being unable to meet are clearly expressed. Also, consider suggesting an alternative time to meet as per the task requirements.
Coherence and Cohesion
Organize the ideas in a more coherent and structured manner. Ensure each paragraph focuses on a single aspect of the response, maintaining logical flow and clarity.
Lexical Resource
Expand the range of vocabulary used to express ideas and opinions more effectively. Aim to use a wider variety of words and phrases to enhance the lexical resource.
Grammatical Range
Ensure a wider variety of complex sentence structures and grammatical forms within the response. Experiment with different sentence structures to showcase grammatical range and accuracy.

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.
