Dear THOMAS DICKENS,
You must both be proud at Mike’s admission to the Bar! It is with regret that Simon and I will be unable to attend your afternoon tea next Sunday. I have an interview in Los Angeles on Monday and we are travelling out on the Friday prior. Please convey our most sincere congratulations and regrets to Mike. We will arrange a dinner with him on our return.
Sincerely,
Bandele
