Dear Liz, I hope you are doing well,

I got your letter regarding your holidays. I am so happy to hear from you and about your next holidays. I would like to go and have some chilli days with you, but I cannot do it this time. Thank you for inviting me to your next holiday and the staying there with you, but I will have a conference in Melbourne that I must attend on the same days. You know my boss, if I ask for holidays, he will go crazy, so, yeah, I appreciate that, but unfortunately, not this time.

I promise you we will meet soon and have a good time together.

I hope you will have fun on your holiday and be disconnected from the office, you need it, you know that. Don’t drink too much, don’t be crazy, be a good girl, take care.

Looking forward to seeing you soon.

With Love,

Tatis
