　　How to Respond to an Invitation Letter

　　Sample 1:

　　Dear Betty,

　　How could we ever think of turning down the prospect of another delightful evening with you and Tom? Of course we'll be there on Thursday, Jan. 20 promptly at seven.

　　Bill and I are both excited about seeing those Hong Kong pictures. We think that's where we're going for our vacation this summer,so it will be wonderful seeing your pictures and getting a "preview" of that most attractive island. Thinks for asking us, Brtty. We're certainly looking forward to next Thursday!

　　Affectionately yours,

　　(Signature)

　　Sample 2:

　　Dear Betty,

　　What a shame! We won't be able to come to your dinner party on Thursday because that's the day we're having the Broens here for dinner.

　　You remember I told you about Mr. Brown last week. He's one of Bill's most important clients. If it were anyone else, I'd change my plan rather that miss an evening with you and Tom! I'm sure you understand.

　　Have a good time on Thursday.

　　Affectionately yours,

　　(Signature)
