Natasha,
Sector 22, Thakur Mahal Complex,
Pune
Dear Meera,
I am excited to be a part of our Grandmother's eightieth birth anniversary. I am delighted to formally accept the invitation and assure you of my presence for the festivities and help with all the arrangements required. It goes without saying that I'd arrive 2 days prior so all of us cousins can make this a night to remember.
I look forward to seeing you soon.
Yours truly,
Natasha
