Hi John Tibbits,

I hope you are doing fine. I would like to express my gratitude for inviting me to your extravagant 25th birthday party.

I am writing this letter to apologise for not being present on your special occasion. I had picked out the perfect gift for you and wrapped it up in your favourite minion themed wrapping paper just the way you like it.

I got a call from my father as I was getting ready to leave my house that my mother was taken to the hospital. I rushed to the hospital and found out that she had fallen from the stairs. She got 4 stitches on her head. Thankfully, she is fine now.

I feel bad for not telling you this beforehand, but I promise to make it up to you. I have booked us a dinner at “The Taj” on Sunday at 6pm. They have a very exquisite food exhibition there on the above-mentioned day and we will enjoy it a lot.

I am looking for to our dinner on the weekend.

Yours lovingly,

Nancy Just
