Hi Jo, I'm sorry, but I can't come to our English lesson on Tuesday at four. I have to help at a school event that afternoon, and I will not finish until six. Could we move the lesson to another day? I am free on Wednesday at five or Thursday at four. Would either of those times be possible for you? Please let me know which is more convenient. Thank you for understanding, and I'm sorry for changing our plan. Best wishes, Sam
