Dear sir or Madam
I am writing to inform you that I am not able to attend my
interview
for a vacancy at your college since I would have a load of things to do.I was so excited to receive a letter from you informing me that my application was successful but the issue is I am not able to attend due to the job interview
I am going to attend on the very date.
I owe you an apology for that. So I am asking you if you could set another day for the appointment if you do not mind. Can you tell me the duration that the interview
would last
and also
are there any tests carried out during that interview
.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours honestly
