Dear Paul,

How are you? Hope you're doing well and your family is fine.

I am writing to inform you that I wont be able to come to play badminton next week as we had planned. I understand that we had planned this meeting as per my schedule and I truly apologize for cancelling at the last moment.

My company is sending me for a short training to Delhi on Monday and I will be coming back after 3 weeks. My manager has selected me to attend the training on the basis of my performance. He, also, informed me that this training is very vital for my next promotion.

However, I suggest we meet on the falling weekend after I am back from Delhi. I would like to invite you for a dinner party at my residence. This dinner would be special as I will be cooking myself. Please let me know your availability.

See you soon,
Albert

Dear Jim,

I hope you’re doing fine. I regret to say that I won’t be able to meet you as promised and hope that you’ll forgive me. I’m so sorry that I have to put off our meeting! It’s a shame that I couldn’t stick to the plan to meet you next Tuesday. I don’t have enough words to express my regret at having to postpone the meeting to another day.

The truth is I’m under tremendous work pressure and also in danger of losing my job if I don’t meet a sales target. I have to visit a potential customer next Tuesday. This is why I’m compelled to cancel our meeting.

I really hope you’ll understand my situation. By the way to make up for this, I have booked a table for us both in your favourite restaurant, The Royal, for next Saturday at 7:00 PM. I hope you can make it.

See you soon.

Warm wishes,

Rahul
