Dear Harry,

What can I say, expect I’m sorry that I have missed your birthday celebration, and I think that you will forgive me.

Happy birthday to you again! I am really sorry for that, because not only I couldn’t come to birthday, but I also forget celebrate you. If you pardon me, I will be gratitude. I’ve already understood my mistake, so you can excuse me, and I’m waiting your response.

First, I really wanted to make it your birthday party, but suddenly I became fly; therefore I couldn’t come to your birthday. I have had temperature and cold, else, I cough really bad. I wanted to say about it, but I couldn’t stand up from my tie, so I forgot tell about I couldn’t attend your party.

As you know, we used to go to cinema everyday; therefore, I will organize go to cinema. If you will be able to make it just call me. I promise you, we had excellent time with variety of beverages and popcorns.

I beg you to forgive me for this happen.

Warm wishes,

Yorqinbek Rustamov.
