Your friend is coming over from a different city to attend your relative’s wedding and you cannot meet him/her at the airport. Write a letter to him/her and say
- Apologise about the situation.
- Explain why you can’t meet him/her at the airport.
- Give directions to the hotel that is already booked for him/her.
Dear Mike,
hi there! I am so sorry but I cannot meet you in the airport tomorrow. As you remember a wedding will have taken place on 24t of August so we have just two days remaining. My relatives are going to perform the dress rehearsal of the ceremony tomorrow at 12 pm. It is the same time you will be arriving. I was asked to help them with preparation to the rehearsal. This is why it is impossible for me to meet you in the airport.
Anyway, it is not a big deal to reach a hotel. The hotel name is Castro hotel. The easiest way to reach the hotel is hiring a cab. There are plenty of cabs near the airport. Another way is going by bus. You need to take the bus number 87 and get off at the fifth station just opposite the hotel. I have booked a room for you which is number 602 so you just need to show your passport or driver license in order to take a key for the room.
Please do not be angry at me. I hope you will have a great weekend.
Sincerely yours,
Ivan.
