Dear Azim

I am writing to apologize for missing your birthday celebration last weekend.

I am really sorry for not attending your birthday party. I was aware of crucias and interesting that birthday party because all of our friends were there at that day. If I had gone to your party , I could have seen them.

The reason for not attending your birthday party was that I was sick after school lessons last weekend. In midday, I had a high temperature and cough. In the evening, my temperature dropped after some medicine. Therefore, my dad didn’t let me go to your celebration. I hope you will forgive me.

We are close friends and I appreciate our friendship. By the way , on the 12th day of the following month I am going to celebrate my gathering. I hope you will come.

See you soon, Azim.
