Apologies for the delayed response Email
Sometimes we are busy and need time before we can respond back. Sometimes we are away from work and naturally can’t respond back in time. There are so many reasons for which you’ll end up writing "Apologies for the delay in replying to your email". Here's a handy template.

Reschedule meetings Email
There’s always a chance that something will come up and get in the way of a scheduled meeting. When that happens, it’s essential to craft an appropriate request to reschedule a meeting via email.
The snippet below uses form fields to create an email template you can customize and personalize when inserting the snippet and the Form Date command to capture the date.
Dear {formtext: name= Brad} ,
I’m afraid that we will have to reschedule our meeting on {formdate:LL} , due to {formtext: name= a sudden conflict}. I’m terribly sorry for the late notice, but the situation is beyond my control.
Are any of the following dates okay with you? {time: MMM Do; shift=+1W}, {time: MMM Do; shift=+2W} or {time: MMM Do; shift=+1W}
If not, I am open to your suggestions. Thank you very much for understanding.
Sincerely,
Ollie G. Barron
