In your letter: explain what will be happening offer your apologies in advance invite him/her to visit your house someday

Dear Mr Smith The reason I am writing to you is to inform you of the graduation party that will take place next Saturday.
To begin
with, I want to explain that I am graduating tomorrow and I want to celebrate it with my classmates. There will be up to 50 people. To clarify, we are planning to have an outdoor barbecue and pool party. I assure you, there will not be any problems,
moreover
, I can take responsibility for every guest's behaviour.
Consequently
, I want to apologise in advance if the music bothers you, it will not be too loud. My friends are kind and well-mannered.
However
, it is impossible to have a party and be quiet, but I hope for your understanding. I know all the laws and those that prohibit making noise after 10pm.
Additionally
, I would like to invite you to visit my mother. She said she had not seen you for long. Just let me know, and I will tell her to bake some biscuits for you. Thank you in advance Kseniia
