OpenStudy (ash2326):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Write something, I'll edit it and review it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hi Roger, Sorry to say, but its a holiday on 18th September, Wednesday in Hyderabad. Could you please contact me on 19th September. Regards, Suchandra

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Hi Roger, Unfortunately it's a local holiday here in Hyderabad on September 18, would it be possible for you to contact me on September 19 ? Regards, Suchandra

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Actually I should just inform him

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

try using Mr. ... is Roger his last name or what? are you trying to be formal or informal? depending on what approach you choose, this could change your letter....but follow @ash2326 's edits, they are good

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

If you want the day of week in this type of letter, the day would be first. Wednesday the 18th of September would be proper if you were aiming to be clear on the day of the week.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

should i even mention the ocassion of the holiday

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

For a message like this, it is one of those things where it overlaps the personal and the business. It can be polite to list the name of the holiday, but unless the person is close or very friendly, there is no need to go into the details of the holiday. So just the name of the holiday is worth adding.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you @e.mccormick

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Dear Mr. <Firstname> <Lastname>, \(\leftarrow\) very formal or Dear Mr. <Lastname>, \(\leftarrow\) semi-formal or Hi <Firstname>, \(\leftarrow\) friendly (Not bad in a message like this unless the client is very business minded.) If you had a prior intent to communicate on this date, starting with, "Unfortunately, " is good. However, if this is just in case, the starting should be more like, "I wanted to let you know that..."

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

For changing a prior meeting: Unfortunately we will be celebrating <holiday name> here in Hyderabad on September 18th. Would it be possible for you to contact me on September 19th instead? I am sorry for the unexpected change in plans. For informing a person in case they needed you, but no plans: I wanted to let you know that we will be celebrating <holiday name> here in Hyderabad on September 18th. If you need me, I will be available on September 19th.
