　　DearSarah,

　　I am terribly sorry to tell you that I am unable to attend your birthday partynext Thursday evening. That is owing to(因为) the factthat (同位语从句)my younger brother suddenly fell ill and was taken to a hospitalthis morning. I have to go there immediately and take care of him. As told bythe doctor in charge, it will take around five days for him to recover and Ihave asked my boss for a leave.

　　I really regret that I cannot go to celebrate your birthday personally andwould miss the perfect chance of enjoying myself with all our old friends. Ihave chosen a small gift for you and will send it to you tomorrow to show mybest wishes. Besides, please give my regards to our friends when you meet themat the party.

　　Cordially, (sincerely)
