Dear Mr. Perkins,
I am writing in response to the email I
received from you on the 21st July 2002. I am afraid I will be unable to attend to our meeting due to a work meeting arranged on the same day. The
only solution to discuss our differences would be to meet another day. Could it be possible to arrange another appointment? Do not hesitate to
contact me whenever you find a free day for our meeting. I would be grateful if
you could inform me about the day as soon as possible.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Yours faithfully,
Malcom Bross
