Task Achievement
Begin your letter with a more formal introduction and directly address the reason for your writing. For example, you might start with, 'I am writing to request a reschedule of my interview initially planned for [date], due to an unforeseen personal emergency.' This immediately informs the reader of the letter’s purpose.
Task Achievement
Continue to maintain a professional tone throughout your letter. Your current tone is mostly appropriate, but ensure that all expressions of personal circumstances are balanced with a respectful request for consideration from the employer.
Coherence & Cohesion
For improved coherence, clearly separate different ideas into distinct paragraphs. Your letter has done this relatively well, but further refinement could enhance clarity. Each paragraph should transition smoothly into the next with logical connectors or introductory phrases.
Coherence & Cohesion
You've made a good attempt at structuring your letter and closing it formally. However, consider adding specifics about your availability for the rescheduled interview, besides just proposing a new date. This shows flexibility and consideration for the employer’s schedule as well.
