Thank you for the invitation and for considering me for this honour. I'm surprised and delighted to read your message.
August is a busy time in the office with many ongoing projects and I'll not be able to attend the function. Please accept my apologies and I'll attend the function with real time virtual communication and will participate in that event as per your wish.
Please send me the exact time for my appearance.. or the time frame when i can be online watching this event. I'll block my calendar for this particular time and attend the function remotely.
BTW - I'm planning a 2 weeks travel to Chennai in this year for THF activities and most likely will be in Chennai end of Nov or early Dec. I'll let you know in advance when the plan is confirmed. I'd be glad to meet you and your team.
