Long time no see. How is it going? I hope everything goes well. You know I am keen
on garden and everything garden related. Currently, I am a member of a garden club.
This weekend my club has a program with the participation of Mr. Seiko. However, I
just received an email from the club informing me that Mr. Seiko won't be able to
come to the show because of illness. I'm greatly frustrated because I've been waiting
to meet him for a long time. What should I do? Write back soon

Love,

Nhung

Write an email to the manager of the club.

Dear Sir,

My name is Vo Thi Hong Nhung and I have been a member of the club for six
months. I am writing this email to express my great disappointment regarding the
cancellation of the talk show "The Garden of Japanese" due to Mr. Seiko's sickness. I
was also informed that Mr. John would perform instead.

I have prepared very well for this upcoming event. I guess every audience is like me.
Although Mr. John is an excellent speaker, what we were looking forward to was
"The garden of Japanese" not "Garden of England". I know this is a case of force
majeure but I hope you can talk to Mr. Seiko. I would be grateful if you could
convince Mr. Seiko to reschedule the conversation to a date as soon as his condition
improves.

I hope that my suggestions are taken into consideration. I look forward to receiving
your response as soon as possible.

Yours faithfully,
