Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing this letter to request a reschedule for my upcoming interview, which was arranged for the 20th of next month. I had previously agreed to be present on the date, but I won’t be able to attend the interview due to circumstances out of my control.

I have received a notice from my current employer that there will be a mandatory meeting that I must attend. The meeting is on the same date as our scheduled interview. I will be the supervisor for the meeting and the events after, so my presence is quite necessary.

I would like you to know that I value this opportunity deeply and I believe I am a great fit for the position your organization is offering. I would like to request a reschedule of the timing of the interview and if possible, a reschedule of the date of the interview. A new date would help me better manage my time and be more capable during the interview as I would have better energy.

Finally, I apologize for this inconvenience and look forward to your response.

Best regards,

. .
