Dear Nicky,
Nice to receive this invitation from you after our meeting last month. I'd love to go shopping with you, but I have to struggle with my term examination recently. Should we book the shopping day for one day in the next month? The shopping center you mentioned is a good place for shopping, but I'm broke so I just can do some window shopping. If you don't mind time, I will together with you.
Yours,
Carlos

Dear Nicky,
It was a pleasure receiving your invitation, especially after our enjoyable meeting last month. While I would be delighted to go shopping with you, I'm currently preoccupied with my term examinations. Could we perhaps schedule our shopping day for sometime next month?
The shopping center you mentioned sounds like a fantastic place, though I must admit, my budget is quite limited at the moment. I hope you don't mind if I mainly indulge in some window shopping. If that's alright with you, I would be more than happy to join you.
Looking forward to it,
Carlos
