SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear Peter
It was a shame that we missed each other on Skype, so I decided to write a letter to you instead. There’s some good and bad news I need to tell you.
The good news is that my cousin Ravindra has finally managed to persuade Shilpa to marry him. As you know they’ve been going out together for over 5 years now and the family, especially Auntie Geetha, had begun to despair that they would ever tie the knot.
I’m sure that you can imagine the celebrations being planned for the reception. The bad news is that the the wedding is just when I was due to come and visit you in England. I do apologise for this but I’m sure that you’ll understand that I can’t miss my cousin’s big day.
I’d still love to visit you in England, if that’s still possible. It’s not just that I’m dying to see you again, but I’m also longing to see the dreaming spires of Oxford you’ve told me about so often. Would some time in November suit you? If not, just let me know when is best for you.
All the best
Amy
