MODEL ANSWER:

Dear Amy,

Hope you are doing well. I’m afraid something has come up here which probably would affect my visit there in Canada. I know you have already adjusted your work schedule, expecting my visit by the end of this month. Unexpectedly, I was chosen to lead a seminar on substance abuse for my social work team at Christmas. As this is a national seminar, organized by our college, I must stay here till it concludes. I’m really sorry for the trouble.

Is it possible for me to visit you by the first week of the new year? The month of January is convenient for me as I have no pre-planned schedules. I hope you can also make yourself free during this time.

Please write and let me know your response regarding this. Once again, sorry for not reaching you as decided. I hope you you’ll understand.

Best regards,
Sarah
