Good morning,
I am very sorry, but I’m afraid that I won’t be able to attend the meeting as I have a doctor’s appointment.
Would it be possible to reschedule the meeting for next Monday at 11:30 a.m.? If it is not convenient for you, we can reschedule it for next Tuesday at whatever time suits you.
Thank you again.
Greetings,
Mrs. Fabiana
