Your friend is coming to stay with you on holiday, but you are not available on that date. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter: • Apologize for not being able to see • Give a reason why you are not available • Suggest another day for your friend's visit.
Dear Mrs. Dilnoza,
I hope you are well. I was really looking forward to our vacation together and travelling together in the Samarkand city. Unfortunately, I was not there when you arrived, and I am writing to apologize for putting you in such an awkward position.
If I were to write about why I could not be with you during the vacation, it was because my colleagues and I had a significant amount of work to do together, and our boss had spoken to us at length about it. In particular, we had to write and publish several magazines before the end of the following week. We were cautioned that if we failed to complete these tasks, our positions could be downgraded, which would potentially have a serious impact on our future employment prospects.
To be honest, I believe that we will be able to make the trip to Samarkand and take our vacation in a week or two. By that time, I will have more free time, and my work schedule will be more manageable. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to enjoy the modern cuisine that you appreciate, and we will be able to attend a movie at the cinema of your choice.
Please, accept my apologies.
Yours sincerely,
Delaney Sanders
