Dear Jennifer,
I am glad to receive your invitation, but I'm so sorry to tell you that I can't make it to your outing for the coming weekend.(表达歉意)
The reason why I can't take part in the activity you organized is that I will have to work in a local hospital as a volunteer on that day. 【高分句型一】This work schedule was settled several weeks ago. I have tried swapping shifts with others, but, unfortunately, none are available this weekend. So, despite all the reluctance, I really can't manage to be there. My dear friend, I hope you can forgive me. (说明理由)Still, I intend to present you with a Chinese water﹣ink painting to your liking upon our meeting next time.(告知已准备了下次见面礼物)
Once again, I am terribly sorry for all the trouble and inconvenience that I might cause.【高分句型二】 I would be very grateful if you could tell me if there is any way that I can make up for it.(再次道歉)
Best wishes,
Xiao Ming
