Dear Stephan,  I am excited to join your organization as a Software Developer.

However

, I am writing to inform you that I can not make it on the arranged date. I was supposed to join the team on September 10, but something came up. Currently, I am on my vacation in Iceland, and my return flight to New York was cancelled because a volcano had erupted. As you might have heard from the latest news, the volcanic eruption started approximately 50 kilometres from the country’s capital city, Reykjavik, where I am now. I am safe, hardly do lava flows pose an immediate threat to people, but unfortunately, all regular flights for the

week were cancelled.

Nevertheless

, the government is working on organizing evacuation flights. So I hope to come home on the nearest provided plane, which is pre-planned for September 13.  I am sorry for the inconvenience and will keep you updated. Yours faithfully, Gerry Palmer.

Some people argue that job security is more substantial, while the others claim that being content at works is prominent to be achieved. While getting a job satisfaction may retain employees to stay in a company, I believe that a permanent job will give more benefits to the employees.

Traffic and housing problems in major cities could be solved by moving large companies, factories and their employees to the countryside. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
In light of mounting problems concerning traffic and housing in metropolitan areas, the question of how to reverse the status quo has been a topic of public interest lately, with some proposing relocating big businesses and industrial plants, along with their people, to rural locales. While this proposal is theoretically beneficial, I would argue that it could lead to far-reaching negative repercussions, so other solutions need considering.
