Example Input
I need to decline a meeting invitation for the Q3 Marketing Sync. Priya invited me, but I can't make it because of a client deadline. We're internal peers. Can you draft the email for me?
Example Output
Subject: Re: Q3 Marketing Sync — Unable to Attend
Hi Priya,
Thanks for the invitation to the Q3 Marketing Sync. Unfortunately, I won't be able to join at the scheduled time, as I'm up against a client deadline that day. Thanks for understanding, and I hope the discussion goes well.
Best,
