五、Dear Mr. Morgan,
I’m writing to apologize for not being able to climb the mountain with you this weekend.
My classmates and I have been expecting to go climbing with you so that we can get close to nature and relax ourselves as well. However, something unexpected occurred, which made it impossible for me to join in the activity. My grandfather, who is in his 70s, fell on the ground suddenly while having a shower yesterday. He was so seriously injured that he was sent to hospital at once. Now he is receiving treatment there and I must look after him. That’s why I can’t go with you. Once again, sorry for not being able to accompany you. I sincerely hope that you will have a good time.
Yours,
Li Hua
