canceling on questionable client - help please
(OP)
Let's say that your job is to go investigate issues with people's houses, and that you had tentatively set an appointment with a person. Let's say that only after that (but before sending the contract) you found out that the person is, well, dangerous. How would you word the email to cancel your involvement with the project?
Please remember: we're not all guys!

Do you mean dangerous in personal safety or dangerous in that they fly off the handle (pun intended), always get their lawyers involved, or never pay their bills?

Dear Mr. or Mrs. So-and-so;
Regarding our appointment on (time-and-date) to assess or review (blah-blah-blah), I have had an urgent matter arise which is tied to a current contractual obligation that requires my attention, conflicting with our previously scheduled appointment. Regrettably, due to the scope of work involved, I am unable to provide an alternate time and date to reschedule at this time. My sincere apologies.
I cannot ethically ask you to wait for an ambiguous period of time, and I must responsibly ask you to seek another service so that your project is not unduly delayed.
Cordially,
X
It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.
