Begin your letter as follows:
Dear…
Write at least 150 words.
Dear Mr Bromley,
I am writing in the hope that I am able to reschedule an upcoming interview I had organised for the 17th of next month. I had previously arranged this with your secretary and had verbally agreed the date, but a situation has arisen that means I would like to postpone.
I have been invited to attend my best friend’s wedding which unfortunately coincides with the date we had already established.
I realise that this is not the most impressive start to my application to work with your company, but I have been asked to speak at the wedding and feel obliged to attend.
I am of course very interested in the position and feel that I can offer my skills and experience to the role, so I would be very grateful if we could set a new date that fits your schedule.
Once again, my apologies for the inconvenience and hope that we can reschedule.
Yours sincerely,
Mark Burnett
