Dear Tom,

Thank you very much for inviting me to your birthday party tomorrow and I have been longing for giving my sincere wishes to you on that special day. However, I am terribly sorry that I cannot be there because of a matter of some urgency. This afternoon I got a call from my parents telling me that my sister had been hospitalized. Both of my parents are busy at work, so I have to go home in a hurry to take care of her. I am sure you can understand this. I would like to say sorry again and wish you a happy birthday as well as a successful party.

Yours

Li Ming

As far as I am concerned, I tend to be in favor of the positive effects. Undoubtedly, nothing is more important than convenience for people living in a so quick-paced society. I believe that the negative effects can be minimized through sustainable economic growth and education.
