is there any error in this delay letter?

Hi English Teachers/Friends. Is this an appropriate letter when it comes to changing an interview date? Please amend if there is any mistake. Thanks You !!

Dear Mr.Christophe Le Padellec,

This letter is to thank you for the opportunity of your invitation to the interview.




While your offer of employment is most attractive, I feel that it would be to our mutual advantage to delay action with respect to this opportunity until next December 16th, Friday. This will provide me with sufficient time as I'll be in overseas till next week.


If this date is not convenient please let me know. Your offer is most attractive and I thank you for the confidence you have shown in me.





Sincerely,

Vincent Tee

[This letter is to thank you for the opportunity of your invitation to the interview.]

If someone gives me the opportunity for an interview, I would write the following:

Thank you for inviting me for an interview.

Or I am writing to you to thank for inviting me to an interview.
