Dear Mr. White,

I am writing this letter in relation to the office meeting at the end of this week. The presentation delegated to me about the monthly sales and expenses is almost done. It also covers the month end report of the company.

As you already know regarding my health getting bad, the doctor has prescribed me some tests to check my asthma and other breathing related tests. I got lucky to get an early appointment with the lab but it is on the same day as the presentation.

I was hoping if the presentation could be postponed to the next week where I would be more in my senses to deliver the presentation and seek feedback from my coworkers. If you don’t mind, I can send an email to all regarding the meeting getting postponed to Friday of next week.

I would appreciate your understanding in this matter and hoping to hear back from you.

Yours faithfully,
