You and your friend have booked tickets to go to the theatre. You are now unable to go but have found another friend to accompany him/her instead. Write a letter to your friend. In the letter, •explain why you can not go to the theatre with your friend •say who can go instead of you •tell them why you think this person would be good to go with

Dear Arsh, I hope you are doing great. Unfortunately, I am writing
this
letter to inform you that I am not available to go with you to watch a movie on Friday.
Therefore
, I have a plan that my cousin will go with you
instead
of me. I hope you do not mind about it.
Firstly
, I was very excited to meet you but my manager called me and told me that I would go to the airport to pick him up on Friday evening.
Secondly
, He said we would go directly to the office from the airport as he scheduled an urgent meeting with the staff.
In addition
, the project manager will discuss about new project which will take more hours, So I do not know about the exact time.
Moreover
, my cousin John is an outgoing person and has a similar interest in Bollywood movies as you.
Therefore
, it is better if I give the ticket to my cousin as you will enjoy quality time with him. I believe you will like him and I will manage time next week to meet you. Best Regards, Love
