Dear Rakesh Mahajan

Thanks for the invitation to your sister's marriage

Indeed, it is a solemn and an auspicious occasion on which, I think, it is my sacred duty to be present as Rachna didi is just like my own sister.

I'm, however, sorry to mention that on the very day of didi marriage, I have to appear for an important interview with a multinational company at Pune which cannot be missed. The company has already declared that the interview cannot be postponed for any reason.

I hope you will excuse me from being absent at you sister's marriage. All the same my heartiest congratulations which should be conveyed to your revered parents also.

Yours sincerely

Rahul Sharma
