Natural way?

Hi,

If I give teaching classes somewhere and can’t go some day for some reason, but want to compensate the hours by putting the lecture off until the coming Monday (Monday is my day-off.), is it correct and natural to say, “Sorry, Today’s class will not occur.I would like to postpone it until the coming Monday. I’ve got to go somewhere else.”?

Please let me know, If you have a more natural way of converying the same information.

Great regards,
Hungry

Hi,

Sorry, I have to postpone today’s class until next Monday, as I have an appointment."

I have two questions:

1) Is it correct to use "next" when the current day (i.e. the day I am not going there) is Saturday? I would just say until Monday.
