Write a letter to your friend informing him/her that you are unable to attend the birthday party (in formal)

Answer:
Dear Aaliyah,
Thank you very much for inviting me to your birthday party. I still recall your last birthday celebration and this was a mesmerising occasion to meet your friends and family. I wish you a very happy birthday. Unfortunately, due to an important official meeting, I won’t be able to make it.
I cannot believe how fast time goes by. Your last birthday occasion seems had been just a few months ago! I wish I could have been present to wish your birthday in person this year as well. Unfortunately, my office is going to hold an annual board meeting and that usually takes the whole day. We invite some key personnel in the meeting and my presence is utterly important considering the role I play. There is no way I can skip the meeting or leave early. Regrettably, your birthday is on the same day.
I would, however, like to meet you next Saturday and give your birthday gift. Save my birthday cake until then.
I look forward to meeting you soon and wish you a very pleasant birthday.
Yours,
Stacy
