Dear Mr. Matthews,
Thank you for your letter of 25 May and I am pleased to confirm my participation in this year’s
conference in July.
I would be grateful if you could send me further details about the program.
Unfortunately, I will not be able to give an update on last year’s talk. I am afraid that pressure of
work will not allow time to prepare a talk.
However, I look forward to attending the conference again.

Yours sincerely,
J. Higgins
