Dear Mr Crown, I am writing to apologize for not being able to take part in an interview which is going to be held on Monday 9th September at 10 a.m. Unfortunately, I have been asked to meet colleagues from Berlin that day at 11 a.m. and I cannot manage to be at our appointment at the specified time.
Firstly
, I am a senior manager in an international corporation named Daggets and they have asked me to meet our overseas investors at the airport at 11:00 a.m. I was not able to refuse them since
this
responsibility lies on my shoulders.
This
circumstance makes it impossible for me to attend the meeting at your college at the scheduled time.
Therefore
, please accept my sincerest apologies for not being able to meet with you as planned.
However
, I ask you to reschedule it for another day whenever is suitable for you.
In addition
, I wonder if it is possible to know the duration of the meeting and if I need to take any tests as part of the interview process during the appointment. I hope my apologies will be accepted and you will consider my suggestion. Yours sincerely, Alan Walker.
