Subject: Car Trouble - Need to Reschedule Today's Appointment

Hi there,

I'm supposed to see Dr. [Name] today at [Time], but my car decided to break down this morning! Murphy's Law, right?

I'm waiting for the tow truck and dealing with the mechanic, so there's no way I can make it to my appointment. I'm really sorry for the same-day notice - I know how valuable appointment slots are.

Is there any chance we could reschedule for later this week or early next week? I should have my transportation sorted out by then (fingers crossed!).

Let me know what works, and I promise I'll be there with bells on!

Thanks for understanding,
