Dear Sarah,
Thank you a lot for your last letter. It was a nice surprise to hear from you. I am writing to inform you I cannot meet you on the next weekend as our agreement.
Unfortunately, my mother had a bad accident last day, and now she is in hospital. Her leg and her arm are broken, and she is not in good situation. She has needed someone to take care, so I left the town yesterday. I talked to her doctor and he said to me she may leaves hospital on Monday, but after that she will need some physiotherapy lesson. I think I will stay here at least for two or three weeks.
I am very sorry for this situation; it will be great if we can arrange another meeting when I come back. I think can see each other on Sunday of July. Please feel free and contact me via my cell phone or my email.
I hope we will be able to see soon.
With love,
Mari.
