Dear Nancy，
I'm so glad to receive your invitation to your lecture in the city library. I'd very much like to learn something about American customs and culture, but a friend of mine is coming to pay me a visit, and since this is the first time he has come here, I will have to meet him at the railway station at 7 p．m. next Saturday. It's really a pity that I can't make it to communicate with you face to face, and I'm sorry for that.
Anyway, I'm fairly grateful to you for the kind invitation. If there is another chance in future, I will try every possible means to learn from you.
Yours，
Li Hua
