Dear Mr Whittaker,

I’m sorry, but I have to cancel my interview on Wednesday 23^rd April. My mother is going into hospital that day and I need to go with her. I realize this must be difficult for you, but would you mind changing our appointment? I am free the following week – Any day is fine. Please let me know if this is possible.

Regards,

Federico Benotti

Hi Philippa,

Really sorry, but I can’t meet you on Wednesday. My mum is going into hospital and I need to take her. Is it all right if we go next week? I’m free every day – how about Tuesday? Give me a call so we can arrange something. Take care, Federico.
