　　Dear Ruth，

　　Next Friday， September the fifth， is Tom's birthday. I thought it would be pleasant to have some of his friends here to help him celebrate. Will you come？ We'll have dancing from nine until midnight， and then cut the birthday cake！

　　Both Tom and I are very eager to have you here， so don't disappoint us！

　　Affectionately yours，

　　Apology for being unable to accept the invitation

　　Dear Li Hua，

　　I'm so sorry I can't come to Tom's birthday party. These days my mother has been falling ill， so I have to attend to her.

　　Thank you for asking me， Li Hua. I certainly hate to miss any of your parties. They're always such fun！

　　Affectionately，

　　Liang Yan

　　「寫法指要」

　　儅你要擧辦生日紀唸、周末消遣性的便餐晚會時，可以通過電話或便函性請帖邀請客人。如果時間允許，是寫信邀約。邀請信可以簡短，但要真誠熱情。寫請帖的日期可以像寫信一樣寫在左上角，也可像寫請柬一樣寫在左下角。
