Dear John

I'm sorry to be so direct but I wonder if you could let me know when you are going to be at The Pigalle Club. I had made a reservation and booked a hotel for tonight before you cancelled and although the hotel won't give me a refund, they have agreed to transfer the booking to a different date.

I'm sure you have much more important things on your mind but if you could spare a moment to let me know, it would be very much appreciated.

Lots of love
