To Whom It May Concern,

I would like to thank you for asking me to go for an interview next Monday at 10:00 a.m.

Unfortunately, I have just been diagnosed with a serious ear infection, which requires surgery on the same day as the interview. I am sorry to say that I will therefore not be able to make the interview, and I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. If possible, I would like to postpone the interview until later next week.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you. And again, I'm sorry for any trouble this may have caused you.

Yours sincerely,

Li Ming

敬启者：

我想感谢您通知我参加下周一上午10点的面试。

遗憾的是，我刚被诊断出患上严重的耳部感染，需要在面试当天做手术。因此，很抱歉我无法参加面试了。对于可能给您造成的任何不便，我表示歉意。如果可能的话，我想把面试推迟至下周的晚些时候。

期待您的回复。再次为我给您带来的麻烦表示歉意。

您真诚的，

李明
