Sample Farewell Party Invitation:
FAREWELL FOR OUR AWESOME TEAM LEADER!
Hi Team,
As you all know, our wonderful team leader Mr. Rajat Verma is moving to Bangalore for a new assignment. We can't let him go without a proper farewell!
Let's give him a memorable send-off and show him how much we've appreciated his guidance and support over the years.
Date: Friday, 25th August 2023
Time: 6:30 PM onwards (after office hours)
Venue: The Garden Cafe, Connaught Place
Dress Code: Casual (but looking good for photos!)
We're planning:
• Group gift collection (please contribute ₹500 by Thursday)
• Speeches and sharing memories
• Dinner and drinks
• Photo session with fun props
Rajat thinks we're just having a regular team dinner, so let's keep the farewell part a surprise until we're all together.
Please confirm your attendance by Wednesday so I can make reservations. Let's make this a farewell he'll always remember!
Cheers,
Anjali
(On behalf of the entire marketing team)
P.S. If anyone has funny stories or photos of Rajat, please share for the memory book!

19. Write an informal reply declining a movie invitation due to family function.
Sample Movie Invitation Decline:
18th November 2023
Hi Priya,
Thanks for inviting me to the movie on Saturday. The new Marvel movie looks amazing, and I'd love to watch it with you guys!
Unfortunately, I have a family function that day - my cousin's engagement ceremony. It's been planned for months, and I have to attend with my family. The timing clashes exactly with the movie show.
I'm really sorry to miss out. Marvel movies are always better with friends!
Have a great time at the movie, and please don't spoil it for me when we meet next! Maybe we can go together next weekend if you're up for a second viewing?
Send me pictures of you all at the theater (but no spoilers in the background!).
Enjoy the movie!
Best,
Rohit
P.S. Save the popcorn for next time!
