Hi Ale,

I apologize for the inconvenience regarding your car. I had also made a booking for the Newbie on the 24th. Originally, the plan was to receive the initial instruction on the 23rd and then proceed with the second drive on the 24th. Given the situation, should I proceed as scheduled with the drive on the 24th, or would it be better to cancel it?
