Email templates / Reschedule a meeting
People forgive a reschedule when it is early, brief and easy to act on. Offer two concrete options so they can answer in one line.
Replace the [brackets] with your details. Change the tone to fit your relationship with the reader.
Hi [Name], I need to move our call on [day/time] because something came up. I am sorry for the change. Could we do [option 1] or [option 2] instead?
Hi [Name], I apologise for the short notice. I cannot make [time] today. I could do [option 1] or [option 2]. If neither works, send me a time that does and I will move things around.
Hi [Name], of course, no problem. [Option 1] or [option 2] works for me. I will send a new invite as soon as you pick one.
Typing a quick draft and fixing the tone is faster than starting from a template. This is a real rewrite from NudgeWrite, using the Professional tone:
need to move our call, something came up, tomorrow instead?
I need to reschedule our call due to an unexpected matter. Would tomorrow work for you?
Select your draft in Gmail, Outlook, Zendesk or any text box, press Cmd+E (Ctrl+E on Windows), pick a tone and click Replace. 50 free rewrites, no card.
