Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to let you know that the reservation which I made on the 25th of October 2024 needs to be postponed to the 12th of November 2024. Unfortunately,
this
request was made
due to
the email I received from my manager yesterday. Let me explain the situation.
Initially
, our business meeting was planned for the 26th and 27th of October 2024.
However
,
due to
the renovation at our office has led to
this
sudden change of mind of my manager. The conference has to be moved to 13th of November and the room reservations
also
need to be shifted
due to
the fact that it was provided as a whole package.
Although
, three rooms were booked
initially
, five more of our team members are looking forward to joining our mission, so we need to increase the number of rooms booked to five.
Moreover
, the breakfast buffet that was
initially
booked needs to be shifted to lunchtime as we are going out in the morning to the nearby bakery for breakfast. Would you kindly accept our request and reschedule the rooms and meal services? I would much appreciate
this
change and I apologize for any inconvenience caused by
this
change. If you have any
further
queries please call me on 4567778899 or email me to confirm the changes. Thanks for your kind consideration and looking forward to the stay. Sincerely yours, Robinson
