Dear Mr John, I am writing to you
this
letter, as I have missed the deadline for the
last
project. The
first
point I would like to mention is that my name is Ahmad, and I am a student in class b, section c. Recently, I have handed in most of my projects on
time
,
however
, I missed
this
time
. The
second
point I would like to mention is that I have not handed in the project on
time
due to several reasons. The
first
reason was that the boss at my work asked me to do a plethora of tasks because we are launching a new store soon. The
second
cause for that was my mother had been in the emergency for four days until now, and I am taking care of her.
Finally
, my arm was broken, as I was playing football with my friends, and I had to see a doctor. One
last
thing I would like to mention is that I am asking you for a favour which is to give me some extra
time
to finish the task.
However
,
this
time
I will finish it on
time
. I look forward to meeting you. If there are any updates, please, do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Ahmad Sayed
