SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear Nemoki,
Hope this letter finds you in radiant health and the best of spirits. I am writing to express my inability to meet you on the fourteenth of April due to some personal problems. As you know my mother has not been keeping good health for a while. Yesterday, she complained of severe pain in the stomach and was hospitalized. She is a known diabetic, but now she has also developed some kidney trouble. Her condition is serious and she’ll have to be in hospital for a few days.
As she needs someone by her bedside all the time, I’ll have to stay in the hospital until she gets discharged next week. I really regret my inability to meet you but unfortunately I can’t do anything about it. Please accept my apologies. I hope you understand my situation.
I know it has been a while since we’ve met and I was eagerly looking forward to this occasion. Would you mind if I suggest another date? If you haven’t got any other commitments, we can meet sometime next week. I’ll be free then. If that isn’t fine with you, feel free to suggest another date and time.
Waiting to hear from you!
Yours lovingly,
