Dear Emma,

I hope you’re doing well. I’m writing to say how truly sorry I am, but I have to cancel our weekend trip to the mountains. I was really looking forward to it, but something unexpected came up. My manager just informed me that I need to attend a mandatory training session this weekend, and unfortunately, it’s impossible for me to skip it.

I feel terrible about this, especially since we’ve been planning the getaway for weeks. I know how much we both needed a break from work. To make it up to you, how about we postpone the trip to next month? The weather should still be nice, and maybe we could even book a longer stay to relax properly.

I’m honestly so disappointed that our plans fell through, and I hope you’re not too upset. Please let me know if the new dates work for you – I promise I’ll make sure nothing gets in the way this time!

Warm wishes,

Linh
