Unfortunately, I can’t make it because of a broken leg. You know, I had an accident in my own home four days ago – I was running downstairs In a hurry when I stumbled, slipped and that was all! I broke my right leg! An ambulance took me to hospital and I had an operation. My bone was set and my leg was put in plaster. I can’t believe how this happened to me!

I’m now on crutches and still in hospital so I wouldn’t be able to come, dance and enjoy the club’s fantastic music. What a shame! Anyway, time flies and I’ll soon be in the pink. As for the karaoke idea, I think it’s great. I wish I could come to your party!

It happened last weekend as I was going to pay a visit to uncle Fred. It was drizzling and when I pulled out into a side street off the avenue, I tried to speed up to overtake a stationary vehicle. Unfortunately, my car skidded, I completely lost control of it and collided with another car in front. My goodness! I banged my head against the windscreen and now I’m in bed suffering a terrible concussion. As you can understand, I’m still in a state of shock. I’m very sorry for not being able to attend your chess competition. But I’m sure, you’ll be the winner! You are an excellent player who has great patience, persistence and intelligence. You’ve proved many times that you can beat even the most competent opponents and win. So don’t worry at all. Just keep a cool head.
