Unable to Attend Mary's Birthday Party
Dear Mary, I hope this letter finds you well. First and foremost, I would like to express my gratitude for inviting me to your upcoming birthday party. It means a lot to me that you thought of me on this special occasion. However, I regret to inform you that I will not be able to attend the party as I have an important meeting scheduled on the same day. It is an opportunity that I cannot afford to miss, as it could potentially have a significant impact on my career. I hope you understand the importance of this meeting to me. Nevertheless, I would love to celebrate your birthday with you and make it up to you. How about we plan to meet on another day? We can go out for dinner or have a small gathering at my place. I want to make sure that I can still be a part of your special day, even if I cannot be there physically on the actual date. Once again, thank you for the invitation and I apologize for any inconvenience caused. I hope we can find a suitable alternative to celebrate your birthday together. Please let me know your thoughts and availability. Wishing you a fantastic birthday in advance! Warm regards, Jill
