Dear Matteo,

Thanks so much for the email.

I very much appreciate the invitation, it sounds like a great event and a good chance to connect with a group of top tier VCs. Unfortunately, my company will be unable to attend due to fact that we have no personnel that are able to attend Munich at this time, however it would be great if we could arrange another time to get in touch with the VCs.

If possible, please email me some further information about these VCs so I can have a better idea of which ones are the most suitable for us.

Thanks again, and I hope you had a wonderful summer as well.

All the best,

Henry
