Hello,

I have been tasked with taking attendance for the upcoming event and have reached out to every member of the organization to get an accurate headcount. I am reaching out to you again because you have left my message on read. Please respond immediately with your availability and readiness to attend.

Sorry, I meant to respond earlier. I will not be able to attend

Alright, can you give me a reason?

I cannot get off at work

Alrighty
