Tips
1. If you don’t know the person well, start your email with Dear + the person’s name.
2. For women, use Ms + surname unless you know they prefer to use Miss or Mrs.
3. Say thank you if you are replying to their email.
4. At the start of your email, say why you are writing: I’m writing to + verb +… .
5. Write the day (Thursday), date (14 March) and place (our Astana offices in the Emerald Towers) clearly.
6. Explain clearly what they should do when they arrive for the appointment.
7. At the end of your email, you can say I/We look forward to meeting/hearing from/seeing you soon.
8. Use Best regards or Best wishes and sign off with your name and your job title.
Yes, I received an email when I applied for a Job. They sent me an email to confirm your appointment for the interview. I replied to that email and wrote about the salary and other work detail.
No I don’t, I’m actually working at a company and I’m not looking for a new job, but
sometimes I need to write this kind of emails to providers when we need to hire some
services at the company. In that case we use to set an appointment with an account
manager to specify our needs and to ask for costs.
Thanks for the lesson.

I noticed something in reading text portion:
Your appointment will take place at 3 p.m. on Thursday 14 March at our Astana offices in Emerald Towers.
Comma must be placed before 14 March. Isn’t?
Your appointment will take place at 3 p.m. on Thursday, 14 March at our Astana offices in Emerald Towers.
Hi Hinthu,
Not necessarily! This is a question of style, rather than grammar. Some style guides recommend putting a comma after the day, but other style guides do not.

Unfortunately, I didn't have this opportunity yet. But I hope after I improve my English skills, I will have this experience in the future. Now I have specific measurement goal - confident B1 level. Let's go!
Yes, I did. Recently, I wrote an email to check which setup I should prepare for an online interview. In the email, I asked for the meeting application that they would like to use Google Meet or Team. The second question was about how many parts there were in the interview.
