Write a letter to your friend telling him or her why you didn't attend to his or her birthday party.​

Hey (insert name), I wanted to apologize for not attending your birthday party.

I know it was important and that you wanted me to be there but I had a family  thing that came up. I hope you understand.

Explanation:

Dear Jax

Thank you a bunch for inviting me over for your birthday!

But unfortunately I had been unable to attend it, I am sorry that this notice was not said sooner and I hope you will be able to understand that I had an important meeting at the time the party had started. I will have to take you for a birthday bash when I am free again, it will of course be my treat. You can think of this as being a second birthday minus the addition you being another year older- who would want to age twice within a span of a week?

For the next "Birthday bash" I was hoping to take you out to your favourite restaurant where you will be able to enjoy your by far all-time favourite dinner! With of course a dessert of your choice.

Just let me know when you are next free and I will sort the event out!

Best wishes and a happy belated birthday.

Simon.

the anecdote makes readers feel sorry for the man’s lack of heritage, then reminds readers that the man has an equally valuable heritage.

is this multiple choice?
