Dear Dennis,
Thank you very much for your kind invitation to participate in next year's Franco-British Colloque in Versailles.
I am honoured by this invitation and would have been delighted to join you and your distinguished guests. However, I am unable to accept as the event coincides with a most awaited family getaway which I will be taking after my retirement from the United Nations.
I very much appreciate your understanding and send my best wishes for a most successful event.
Yours sincerely,
