Dear Mr. Jonathan,
I am writing to you to postpone our meeting which should be at 2 p.m. today.
I apologise for
this
inconvenience, as I understand how busy your working day is and how important this
meeting is for our cooperation.
The matter is that we have some serious issues in our branch in İzmir and I have to go there urgently and resolve the problems immediately. Otherwise
, we will have huge financial losses as well as
lose our best customers. My boss gave me the assignment to resolve this
issue because he has gone abroad. Actually, I am unable to inform you about all the details due to
confidentiality rules. Nevertheless
, the fact is that I am not able to come to the meeting today.
I would be grateful if you could make another appointment, for instance
, at 3 p.m. on Friday tomorrow. Moreover
, I will be able to gather more detailed information for our deal tomorrow morning, and, thus
, our meeting will be much more effective.
Thank you in advance for your understanding.
I look forward to your prompt response.
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.
