A clear message identifies the appointment, proposes a new time and asks for a reply.
The idea
Use tengo una cita el martes to identify the appointment, necesito cambiar la hora to explain the change and ¿es posible a las cuatro? to propose a time.
Examples
- Buenos días:Good morning,
- Tengo una cita el martes.I have an appointment on Tuesday.
- Necesito cambiar la hora.I need to change the time.
- ¿Es posible a las cuatro?Is four o’clock possible?
- Por favor, confirme la nueva hora.Please confirm the new time.
- Muchas gracias. Ana.Thank you very much. Ana.
