Reply to an interview invitation
Hi!
A company has sent me the following email to arrange a telephone interview with me. I've written the answer but I'd be really grateful if someone could check it. I find that my answer is too abrupt and I believe that what they want with this email is to check my English. I don't want to sound pompous either.
Thanks a lot for your help!

It looks fine. For the salutation I would say Dear Sir or Madam: Typically it is one person receiving your response, so singular is better. If you know who it is, use their name.

Hi,
My interviewer just set the two panel interviews on the weekend and then she realized that it is on Sunday. She sent me the following email:
My apologies I must have been looking at *** and not ***. I have now held the afternoon of xxx11th from 1-3 p.m.
Is that good if I reply as below:
No problem, I thought you must have checked a different month
