Dear potter
I hope
this
letter finds you well. I am writing with a heavy heart to inform you that I will not be able to join you for our planned movie
outing. Unfortunately, an unexpected situation has arisen, and I am left with no choice but to cancel our movie
date.
The reason behind my sudden unavailability is that I have been called in for an urgent work assignment that cannot be postponed. Given the nature of my job, sometimes these unforeseen events occur, and I find myself unable to fulfil previous commitments. I apologize for any inconvenience this
may cause.
However
, I have managed to find a replacement who can go instead
of me and I believe will be a great companion for you. My friend Potter whom you have met a couple of times, has kindly agreed to take my place. I believe Potter is an excellent choice for this
movie
outing because of their shared love for the movie
genre we were planning to watch.Submitted by saydusmonovasomiddin94 on
