Dear PAUL SMITH,
I was honored that you asked me to perform at your son’s baptism on Sunday. It is an important rite of passage in a child’s like. I regret I will be unable to be part of this joyous occasion as I have a prior engagement in Leesville on that day. I am sure it will be a wonderful day with family and friends. Please accept my most sincere apologies.
Sincerely,
Albinka
