Dear Sir or Madam,
Thank you for selecting me for the master's degree programme in Cyber Security. I am writing
this
to inform you in advance that I am unable to attend the interview
, because I will be having another pre-planned meeting at my office on the same day at about 9.30am.
To begin
with, let me explain my position here. Since, I work as a Project Manager in my company, my presence at the meeting is very vital because we will be starting a new project within a few months' time. And I have no authority to change the date or the time because there will be some foreigners coming to participate in the meeting.
First
, I sincerely apologise to you sir, for not being able to attend to interview
in the mentioned time slot.
Second
, I would appreciate it if you can allow me to participate in the interview
on a separate day or in a different timeslot in the same.
Lastly
, may I know for how long an interview
will be held and whether there will an exam after the interview
?
Hope you will understand my situation.
I would appreciate your kind attention to this
matter, and I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,

Structure your letter
A letter needs to be written using a proper format, including the following:
- A greeting (Dear sir/madam, Dear John, Dear Mr. Smith)
- The main body (consisting of paragraphs for each part of the letter)
- A closing (Yours sincerely, Yours faithfully, Best wishes, Kind regards, Love)
When writing a letter as part of the IELTS General Training Writing Task 1, it is important to include the bullet points presented to you in the question.
All three bullet points need to be presented. And remember that some bullet points contain more than one element. So, make sure to watch for ‘and’ and plurals.
