Dear Emma and Andrew,
Thank you for your invitation for Jeremy Purvis to attend the Action Duchenne's Race Against Time Lobby Day at the Scottish Parliament on June 3rd. I am writing on behalf of Jeremy to inform you that due to prior obligations he will not be able to make it.
Kind Regards,
Danielle

Never mind it sometimes happen, it might be a good idea to write back and say you understand but tell him you will send him the details of the Lobby and any literature,also it might be good to make an appointment to see him at his surgery and explain what you are trying to acheive and why! building a relationship with him should pay dividends in the end .. good luck guys!!
