I can't use "for". Is that right?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you in advance.

I've been a bit busy Jiang.
I don't think "for"
on its own would sound right in that context (probably because "for reasons of" is such a strong collocation). But you
can use "for" to express purpose/intention in some contexts: "I have to go there for my own things, so I might as well pick up your dry cleaning too", or "she warned me not to go for safety's sake" - in that case "for safety's sake" implies the reason "because it was too dangerous".
