Here's an example of what the email might look like:
Subject: Request to Reschedule Interview
Dear Ms. Smith,
I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to request a change in the interview date for the Marketing Manager role at XYZ Corporation. I am still very interested in the opportunity and believe I would be a great fit for the position.
Unfortunately, I have a prior commitment that I had previously forgotten about and it cannot be rescheduled. Would it be possible to reschedule the interview for Wednesday, March 15th at 2 PM? I am also available on Thursday, March 16th at 10 AM or Friday, March 17th at 3 PM.
If this new date and time do not work for you, please let me know and I will do my best to accommodate your schedule.
Thank you for considering my request. I look forward to hearing back from you soon.
Best regards,
