Band 8+: You have been invited to attend an interview for a place on a course of study at a college. Unfortunately, because of a previous appointment, you cannot go to the interview at the time they wish. Write a letter to the admissions tutor. In your letter • explain why you cannot keep the appointment • apologise and offer to arrange a new appointment • ask how long the interview will be, and whether there will be any tests during it

Dear Admissions Tutor,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my gratitude for the opportunity to attend an interview for a place on TESOL at Algonquin college. However, I regret to inform you that I am unable to attend the interview at the scheduled time due to a prior commitment that I cannot rearrange.

I sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and would greatly appreciate the possibility of rescheduling the interview at a more convenient time. Please let me know if there are any available alternative dates, as I remain very keen to attend and discuss my application further.

Additionally, I would like to inquire about the expected duration of the interview and whether any tests will be conducted as part of the selection process. This information would help me prepare accordingly.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response.

Yours sincerely,

Mittal
