Dear sirs,

Lord Carrington has asked me to thank you for your invitation to attend the launch of the m.v. "United Effort" on 12 March. He very much regrets that he and Lady Carrington will not be able to attend because of previous commitments and has asked me to pass on his best wishes for a successful launching ceremony.
