Dear Tom
Since we met last year, we have not get together for a long time. It is quite a nice surprise to receive your invitation for your birthday party this weekend. However, my parents are going overseas on officical bussiness for a month, and I need to stay at home to look after my grandmother because she is not feeling well. Besides, my English examination is coming soon. I need more time to prepare for this important examination. I hope you can understand my situation and why I can'祥敬t attend your party. I promise to find time after the examination to visit you.
Thank you and wish you happy birthday!
