Dear Emma,

Many thanks for your kind invitation to me to the Christmas party on December 24 at 7 pm. However, unfortunately, I will have a journey to Beijing on December 22 and will be there for about one week. Therefore, I am unable to attend the party, much as I would have liked to do so.

I hope there will be another opportunity in the near future to meet you and the other classmates. Hope you’ll have a good time at the party!

Yours,
Jessica
