Dear Kartik,

I am very fine and I hope you and your family are also very happy. I got
the invitation letter of your brother’s marriage and I was very excited to

come and join the marriage. But I have to go to Mumbai to attend my
competition exam that is also very important for me. This is the reason

that I will not be able to attend the marriage. But I am very happy for
your brother and I will also pray to God for him. Keep in touch and send

me the photographs of the marriage. Give my love to your brother.

Your friend,

Himanshu
