Dear ***, I regret that I will be unable to attend the company dinner because of a previous commitment. Plans were made and accepted before the company affair was announced and I am obliged to attend the Chinese New Year's dinner for reasons both personal and familial. I'm sorry that I will not be able to be with you and my colleagues for what will certainly be a very delightful evening.
