In your letter, you have to: – Apologise to your friend. – Explain why it’s not possible to meet now. – Suggest an alternative date for the meeting.
Dear Isay,
I am writing
this
letter regarding my invitation to you for this
upcoming Saturday, April 15th. I am thrilled that we can finally
meet each other after such
a long time however
, I regret to inform you that I will not be available on the said date due to
an emergency.
Last
week, on Wednesday night, I received a call from my mother informing me that our dog has passed away. He was our first dog and was with us ever since I was 13 years old. I loved him so much that when I heard the news I was heartbroken by his sudden death. I will use this
time to give time for myself to grieve his passing.
I apologize for the cancellation of this
occasion although
if you are still free, I am available on April 29th. Due to
this
unfortunate event, the dinner is on me. Thank you so much for your understanding.
Yours faithfully,
Rhea EmanoSubmitted by rhealynemano on
