Dear Professor White,

Many thanks for your letter dated 15th August, inviting me to attend and

chair a session of the forthcoming 2004 International Conference on

Parallel Data Processing to be held in Bellaire, Michigan, from October 25 to 28, 2004.

Much to my regret, I shall not be able to honor the invitation because I

have been suffering from a disease since this summer.

I am firmly advised that it would be unwise to undertake any distant and long travel in the near future.

I feel very sad to miss the opportunity of meeting you and many others in the field of Computer Science.

I wish the conference a complete success.

Faithfully yours,

Wang Xuan
