Dear Pollock, I'm so sorry that I missed your birthday party and I hope you are not mad at me. I was so excited to have been invited to your birthday and I even had plans for the occasion. But the last moment emergency compelled me to change my plan. I'm sorry that I even had not informed you. I hope you had a grand party on your birthday. I'm so happy to see the fabulous photos on Facebook. I wish I could've been there too. But just before your birthday, I got a call that from my hometown and was terribly shocked by the news that my grandfather had a heart attack. I flew to my hometown without any delay and had been there for a couple of days. Fortunately, my grandfather has recovered and out of danger now. I would be terribly busy the whole week in my office due to a missed deadline. Hopefully, I will be at my usual pace within a few days. I would like to meet you at your home and stay on the weekends. I won't forget your birthday present. Warm wishes, Nickol
