Dear [Friend’s Name],
I hope
this
message finds you well. I’m so grateful for your invitation to your birthday party, and it means a lot to me that you thought of including me in your celebration. Unfortunately, I’m really sorry to say that I won’t be able to make it to the party. I have a prior commitment that I just cannot reschedule, and it’s really disappointing because I would love to be there to celebrate with you.
Please don’t worry—I have a special gift for you that I’ll be thrilled to give you in person the next time we meet. I put a lot of thought into it, and I hope it brings a smile to your face.
Since I can’t be there for your birthday, I’d love to make it up by meeting sometime soon. How about we catch up for lunch or coffee over the weekend? Let me know what works for you, and we’ll make it a mini celebration
.
Wishing you a fantastic birthday and a wonderful time with friends and family. Looking forward to catching up soon!
Warm wishes,
JaskaranAdd a hyphen
