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 Linking Words
next
week were cancelled. Linking Words
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.Linking Words
