Dear Mr. Henderson,

I am writing to request you to kindly postpone my presentation date from 5th October to 12th October as I am not keeping well.

I have been asked to present on ways to reduce marketing costs by the management. This would be an internal brainstorming session and hence is not due to any client.

As I experienced severe migraine since yesterday, I had been to my doctor who suggested that I take complete rest until the end of this week for better recovery. Unfortunately, this timeline coincides with the scheduled presentation day, and hence I would not be able to prepare for and deliver it as planned. I request you to kindly reschedule the session by a week, so that I have good preparation time before presenting on the topic.

Let me apologise for any inconvenience caused and it would be very helpful if you could approve this request.

Yours sincerely,

Catherine Bow
