Until now we have yet to receive response from you concerning our plan to visit North Sumatra. Should the date of the meeting *is not convenient* for the governor, please let us know and advise when we will be able to hold this meeting and how it should be arranged.

"not be convenient".
I'd also say "Until now we have yet to receive any response" or "a response"

I would write something like this:
----------------------------------------------------------------
As per our previous letter sent last year on [December 21], [representatives of ___] plan to travel to North Sumatra in [late January] and urgently request to meet with Governor ____ regarding __________. However, we have not yet received a confirmation or response from your office.
Could you please advise if [Thursday, January 25] is a convenient day to meet with the Governor? I will call your office this week, or please feel free to contact me at [telephone number] so that we may arrange a more suitable date.
We look forward to meeting with the Governor's office to discuss _____________________ which is a very important issue affecting [citizens throughout the state]. Thank you very much.

The first part of your second sentence would be better this way: "If the date of the meeting is not convenient for the governor,..."

Why don't you just ask to confirm the availability of the governor
on the desired date or request they suggest a time that is
convenient for him/her with in a specified time frame.
Example Jan15 thru Jan30. Then take it from there.

Hmm...I think it is more than the word "is". How about: "Should the date of the meeting *not be convenient* for the governor..."

When I first spotted your question I was going to jokingly suggest "be inconvenient", but now that I read the text in question I see that that substitution would be correct. Oh well.

Egads! Bad bad grammar. Stevie T, sitting on my head, has it right. And >tee hee< rinkrat, down there under me, spelled 'governor' wrongly.
