Reply

Dear Sir,

Unfortunately I received your kind invitation too late to prepare my contribution for the Conference you have invited. In addition to that I have some previous engagements, which would be most inconvenient for me to cancel.

It was extremely inspiring for me to find in your letter a few words appreciating my studies. Thank you. I wish every success to the Conference.

Yours sincerely, (signature)

Dear Sirs,

I have received your kind invitation. Thank you. It appears from your letter that the Conference will take place in June. It makes my participation impossible because of my previous engagements.

I should like to inform you that I shall be waiting for a new opportunity of meeting my colleagues. I wish every success to the Conference.

I remain, Yours sincerely, (signature)
