Dear Sir, I am writing with the hope that I am able to reschedule a new date for my resumption which was
initially
fixed on the 20th of May, as a customer care representative in your company.
This
is
as a result
of my inability to secure an accommodation earlier than I expected. During the interview, the human resource manager explained that the company quarters will not be available to new recruits as it was undergoing renovation which is expected to
last
for about three months. Since I do not reside in
this
city, I was caught unawares and immediately commenced a search for a convenient place to reside with the help of some housing agents.
However
,
this
proved to be a long search, as the only space available will not be vacant until
next
weekend, about 5 days after I am due to resume.
As a result
, I humbly seek
for

down in my new accommodation. Thank you for your consideration. Yours faithfully, Ruth Akhuetie
