How to reply to mail for postpone of meeting
Here's an example of a polite and professional email reply to postpone a meeting:
Subject: Rescheduling of [Meeting Name]
Dear [Name],
I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to request a postponement of our meeting scheduled for [Original Meeting Date and Time]. Due to [briefly mention the reason for postponement, e.g., "unforeseen circumstances" or "an unexpected work commitment"], I need to reschedule our meeting to a later date.
Would it be possible to reschedule the meeting for [Proposed New Date and Time]? If this time does not work for you, please let me know and I will do my best to accommodate your schedule.
I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding in this matter. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
Thank you for your flexibility and I look forward to hearing back from you soon.
Best regards,
[Your Name]
Alternative options:
- If you need to postpone the meeting by a shorter period, you can simply reply with a new date and time, e.g.: "Hi [Name], I'm afraid I need to postpone our meeting from [Original Meeting Date and Time] to [New Date and Time]. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. "
- If you're unable to provide a new date and time, you can reply with a message like: "Hi [Name], I'm so sorry but I need to postpone our meeting scheduled for [Original Meeting Date and Time]. I'm still working on finding a new date and time that works for me. I'll be in touch soon to confirm a new meeting time."
Remember to always be polite, apologetic, and professional when requesting a postponement of a meeting.
