Best Practices

Apology and Transparency

• Start with a sincere apology, acknowledging the inconvenience the cancellation may cause and expressing genuine regret.
• Be honest and transparent about the reason for the cancellation. Provide a brief explanation if it feels appropriate.

Advance Notice
