I’m terribly sorry that I can’t go to your birthday party this Saturday.
My uncle will come to Beijing from America on Saturday afternoon. My parents want me to go to the airport with them to pick him up. So it’s a pity that I can’t have fun with you then.
I wish you a happy birthday and hope everything will go well. By the way, I have bought the latest CD of Jay Chou for you as a birthday present and I will give it to you on Monday.

Dear Jim,
I want to express my sincere apologies for not being able to attend your birthday party this weekend. I am really looking forward to celebrating with you and our friends, but unfortunately, I won’t be able to make it.
我想向你表示真诚的歉意,周末我不能去参加你的生日聚会了。我真的很期待与你和朋友们一起庆祝,但是很可惜,我去不了了。
The reason for my absence is that I am currently in my final year of high school and facing the pressures of upcoming exams and college applications. This weekend, I have a great amount of coursework and preparation to complete, which requires my undivided attention.
我不能去的原因是,现在是高中的最后一年,我面临着即将到来的考试和大学申请的压力。这个周末,我有大量的课程作业和复习要完成,实在不能分心。
Still, I am thinking of you on your special day. I have already prepared a birthday gift for you, which I will make sure to give you when I see you next Mo
