Dear Mrs Rachel,

I am writing this letter to inform you that, unfortunately, I will not be able to make the interview time scheduled for next week. Due to unexpected conditions, I have the most important consideration that cannot be rescheduled.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and I would like to request to change the interview date to a later time that is convenient for you. I am very interested in the opportunity to interview for the job title position and I hope we can find a new date that works for both of us.

Thank you for your understanding and I look forward to receiving back from you to reschedule the interview.

Yours sincerely,

Anna Parkinson

The letter adequately addresses all the points mentioned in the task. The reason for needing to move the interview time is clearly stated, a request to change the interview date is made, and the interest in the job is expressed. To improve, consider providing more specific details about the unexpected conditions that led to the need for rescheduling. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.
