English term or phrase: Dear Magda, very sorry but the party on Friday is cancelled, Regards Joan

Hi,

I wonder if one of my Polish-speaking colleagues would be so kind as the translate this sentence to Polish? It is for a friend who does not speak good English.

Many thanks in advance,
Søren

Explanation:
You can leave the "Droga" out, as the "dear" in Polish would most certainly not be used by teenagers or people in their 20s-30s.

oops, if you leave the "droga" out, then the beginning of the sentence changes to:

Magda, przykro mi..... (in colloquial usage, the last character changes from o to a, in formal and proper usage it doesn't) ;o)
