Dear Mr. and Mrs. Collins,
I hope this letter finds you well. First of all, thank you so much for inviting me to Chris’s surprise birthday party. I am sure he will absolutely love the idea of a surprise celebration. Chris is such an outgoing and sociable person, and I can imagine the joy and excitement he will feel when he is surrounded by friends and family, all gathered to celebrate his special day.
However, I regret to inform you that I will not be able to attend the party due to a prior commitment that coincides with the same date. I apologize for any disappointment this may cause, as I was genuinely looking forward to being a part of Chris’s celebration.
Nevertheless, I am determined not to miss out on wishing Chris a wonderful birthday and spending time with him. I would like to suggest that we plan a separate get-together at a time that suits us both. Whether it is a lunch, a casual hangout, or even an outdoor activity that Chris enjoys, I would be thrilled to make it happen.
Once again, I truly appreciate the invitation and am grateful for your thoughtfulness. Please extend my warmest birthday wishes to Chris, and let him know that I will be reaching out to make plans for our own special celebration.
Wishing Chris a fantastic birthday and looking forward to catching up soon.
Best regards,
Ali Hosseinipour
