Dear Lisa,

I have received your letter asking me to met you at your house this Sunday to discuss the urgent matter you have. I regret however to say that it will not be possible for me to see you on Sunday as I already have a previous appointment. I will see you on Monday, next week, at 5 p.m. Hoping the change of date will be convenient to you.

Your Sincerely,

Daisy
