dear I have just heard that you are to go abroad. I am sorry to hear this, as I was looking forward to your visit. However, I understand that it is not possible for you to come at this time. I hope that you will be able to return soon and that we can meet again before you leave. Please give my regards to your family and tell them that I was very sorry to hear of your departure. I wish you all the best for your journey and hope that you will have a safe and pleasant trip. Yours sincerely, [illegible]
