Dear Ram,

I hope my letter finds you in good health. I am pleased to inform you that I am visiting your town next month and we can plan to meet again.

At the onset, I want to apologies for skipping reunion that we planned last month during my visit to Bangalore. I was excited to meet you. Although, because of some unforeseen reasons, I could not make it.

I was on a business trip to Bangalore during our last meeting. Primarily, I was in the conference for the whole day. Owing to which, I didn’t have a hold on time and it took more time than anticipated. Apart from this, my team has organized dinner in my honor. Hence, I could not shatter their heart and decided to enjoy the evening with them.

However, I am planning to visit Bangalore again next month. I will be there from 12th August to 20th August. Therefore, I intend to meet you during the weekend. We can meet at Bangalore Palace around 11 AM on Saturday and after spending sometime there, we can scout the local areas.

I am thrilled to finally meet you in person after so many years. See you real soon!

Yours lovingly,

[YOUR-NAME]
