Meeting Cancellation Letter

Meetings are one of those important commitments that must be fulfilled on the said date and time. But at some point in life we need to put off our meetings and commitments on some other day. A meeting cancellation letter is then written and issued to all the participants of the meeting so that no one is left uninformed.

Therefore the meeting cancellation letter should be written with caution not to miss anything. The main body of the meeting cancellation letter must contain the reason for cancellation, the place where the meeting was scheduled, the date and time of the meeting.  While writing such type of letters try to be precise and clear in your expression. The opening sentence of the letter therefore must directly convey the reader that the meeting has been cancelled. But while writing the main body of this letter, try to be soft in your tone. Close the letter with an apology and a word of commitment for arranging the meeting in future.
