Model Answer:
Dear Mr. Jenkins,
I hope this letter finds you in good health and spirits. I wanted to inform you about an upcoming event at my residence. Next Saturday, I will be celebrating my graduation and have planned an outdoor barbecue evening in our garden. Approximately 50 friends and family members are expected to attend, and while we will do our utmost to keep noise levels to a minimum, the celebration may continue till the late hours of the night.
I truly want to extend my apologies in advance for any inconvenience this may cause you, especially considering the duration of the event. We will, of course, ensure that the volume of music or chatter remains respectful, especially as the night progresses.
Moreover, it would be a pleasure to have you over someday, perhaps for a quiet afternoon tea or dinner. My family and I always cherish the wisdom and stories you share, and it would be a wonderful opportunity for a more intimate and relaxed get-together.
Thank you for your understanding and patience. I hope to see you soon and will ensure our graduation celebration causes as little disruption as possible.
Warm regards,
Alexandra White.
