Dear Elisa,
Hope
this
letter finds you in radiant health and best spirits. I am grateful that you have invited me to your birthday party. However
, I regret to inform you that I will be tied up with an official meeting on that day. I heartily apologise for this
.
To begin
with, I was absolutely thrilled when I received an invitation from you, believe me, I was over the moon. Thank you so much for this
invitation. I truly wish to join you on your special day, meanwhile, I received a call from my senior and he informed me about our convocation with overseas clients. My attendance is important as my boss counts on me to present our work to the clients. I hope you will understand my situation.
In addition
, I am planning to host a supper for you at my house next Sunday evening in your respect, and I hope to make up for skipping your occasion.
I am looking forward to meeting you in person to congratulate you. Besides
, I also
seek your forgiveness for not honouring your visit.
Warm regards,
