You are due to start a new job next week but you will not be able to because you have some problems. Write a letter to your new employer. In your letter: explain your situation describe your problems tell him/her when you think you can start

Dear Sir or Madam, I would like to thank you for the opportunity to be a part of your organisation. I was offered the Junior Executive position in your organisation and was supposed to start my office on 2nd August 2019.
However
, a problem has arisen and it forces me to delay my joining for a month than
initially
planned. As you know, I currently work for my father's gift shop, and you will remember from my interview that I have gained valuable experience from my involvement in
this
business. Unfortunately, my father has been admitted to a hospital for his illness, leaving me in charge of both the home and the business. As
this
is a particularly busy time for the shop, I am forced to take charge of running the shop. I can understand that it would be inconvenient for you but I am hoping that you would consider the circumstances and allow me to take up my position with your company one month later than the date we
initially
agreed upon. I would like to emphasise that I remain very keen to work for your company and would be ready to join from 1st September 2019. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully, Brian Hall

To score effectively on your IELTS exam, you should make an effort to implement short concise sentences coupled with linking words.

Almost every sentence in your essay should have a linking word of some sort.
