Dear Sarah,

　　I am terribly sorry to tell you that I am unable toattend your birthday party next Thursday evening. That is owing to the fact that my younger brother suddenly fell ill and was taken to a hospital thismorning. I have to go there immediately and take care of him. As told by thedoctor in charge, it will take around five days for him to recover and I haveasked my boss for a leave.

　　I really regret that I cannot go to celebrate yourbirthday personally and would miss the perfect chance of enjoying myself withall our old friends. I have chosen a small gift for you and will send it to youtomorrow to show my best wishes. Besides, please give my regards to our friends when you meet them at the party.

　　Sincerely

　　Cordially
