Dear Vijaya Tandelkar,
Received your invitation. I am really glad to accept your invitation to inaugurate the English Literary Club in the school where I had completed my twelfth standard 15 years ago. Don’t worry about sending a car. I will come in my own car. You can fix any working day in the second week of November.

Inability to attend the function

Dear Tandelkar,

Received your invitation, I wish I could attend the inaugural meeting of the literary club. It would be such an honor as I have studied in that school. But I need to attend an international conference in Thailand. I will be away during the second and third weeks of October. 1 would recommend you to invite Dr. Sangeetha, a great scholar who has recently done her Ph.D. in Modem Poetry (i.e.) Pudhukavithai. Though she is young, she is a versatile genius and it would be appropriate if you would come and invite her in person. Good luck with the success of the program.
With Warm Regards Yours sincerely Anjali Head
