Dear Sir/Madam,

First Paragraph: Apologize for missing the interview or meeting. Include the date, time,

and location (University of Kansas) of the missed interview. You can include the reason

responsibility for your actions and do not blame other entities. Acknowledging your

mistakes will earn you more respect in the future.

Second Paragraph:

If you do not wish to pursue an interview with the employer, conclude with thanks for his

or her time and consideration. You may or may not want to add that you have accepted

other employment, that you are pursuing a different line of work, that you hope to

relocate to another area, or some other reason that you may have for not seeking an

interview.

If you are still interested in meeting with this employer at another time, indicate your

willingness to schedule another meeting. Indicate that you have enclosed another copy

Sincerely,
