Hi, xxx
I really wanted to join. I’ve never been there, the hotel looks so nice and the price is quite reasonable. I gave a thought, but it’d be difficult to take days off in the period of time.
I had an accident at my flat of water leaking late last year due to some defect work of the reform company I hired. Water also leaked through the ceiling of my downstairs neighbor.
Then we’re going to have some repair construction probably in May. So I have to take some days off in May just after Golden week, then again taking some days off in the next month would be a bit difficult.
It’s really shame! But I appreciate a lot for your inviting me to join your trip.
We agreed he was coming over to my country to have a meeting with my manager and myself in a week in March. But we didn't decide specific date, then i asked my manager's assistant to block his schedule of the whole week.
Please comment if this is a proper expression and ket me know if there is better way to communicate. -
Dear Xxx,
Hope you had a great start of the year 2018.
I’m wondering if you might be able to narrow the date to come over, as my manager's assistant is receiving meeting requests to him in March and getting difficult to find right time excluding this whole week.
I’d be also glad if you could let us know your intention how many days you’d like to spend for the discussion.
