A friend who lives in another country has invited you to come and stay with him on your next holiday. You are too busy to accept the invitation. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter: Thank him for the invitation Explain why you cannot come Ask him about other times to visit

Dear Fariha, Thank you so much for inviting me to celebrate Eid at your place. I was thrilled to see your letter asking me to come to Pakistan for my Eid holidays. It has been so long since we have met and I am miss you very much! However, I have just started a new job in a software house and agreed to not take my Eid Holidays since we have a project to deliver that week. As you know this is very important for my career and leaving in between would not only seem unprofessional but also create a very negative image of me in my new comapny. Nevertheless, I will be free next month and have already talked to my manager about taking a break then, so I can pay you a visit. I hope you will be available and we can arrange something accordingly. Best wishes, Kanza
