Dear Sir, Thank you very much for your letter dated 15th May inviting me for an interview at your college on Wednesday 2nd June at 10am. I am extremely sorry but I am unable to come to an interview at that time because I have a maths exam that morning. It really cannot I miss this exam but of course I really wish to attend the interview with you. Is it possible that I could come to the interview the same day but in the afternoon? Failing that, I would be able to come the next day or any day after. I would also like to ask some things about the interview. I would like to know how long it will last and also whether I will be required to do any tests during it. Once again I apologise for not being able to attend the interview at the time that you wanted and I hope I will be able to meet with you at another time. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Yours sincerely, James Walker
