9 New Circular Road, Dhaka-1000

20 February 2020

Dear Aleya,

Many thanks for your kind invitation. It would have been a matter of great pleasure if I had the situation to participate in the marriage ceremony of Ranju Apu. but I am extremely sorry to inform you that my mother has suddenly fallen ill. She has been laid up with malaria for some time. Father is out of situation on his official duty. There is none to look after mother and I have to do all the household chores as the woman who helps us with household work is absent for some days. I would definitely have come if my mother had not fallen ill. Mother is not likely to come round in a week. I cannot leave her alone. Enjoy yourself. If God so desires, I shall certainly meet you on the next vacation.

Please convey my best regards to your parents and best wishes to you all.

Yours sincerely,
