16 August, 20×× Dear Manish,

I feel honoured to be invited to attend your wedding anniversary. Please accept my best wishes and congratulations to both of you on this auspicious occasion. Unfortunately, my uncle is coming from London and the family is throwing a get-together in his honour on the same day. Therefore, I shall not be able to attend your anniversary celebration. Please do accept a small anniversary gift that I am sending for both of you along with my best wishes.

Yours
Mahendra
