A written communication used to inform recipients that a scheduled discussion or gathering will no longer take place. This message typically includes information such as the meeting’s original date and time, the reason for its termination, and potentially offers an apology for any inconvenience caused. For example, a project manager might dispatch a message stating, “Please be advised that the project status update meeting scheduled for October 26th has been terminated due to unforeseen circumstances. We apologize for any disruption this may cause.”
The value of this communication lies in its efficiency in disseminating information, preventing unnecessary travel or preparation, and maintaining professional courtesy. It saves time and resources for all involved parties, while demonstrating respect for their schedules. Historically, notification of meeting changes occurred via telephone or physical memos; the advent of electronic mail has streamlined this process, allowing for rapid and widespread notification.
