your company will be delayed. I was hired as a junior editor in your company
last
month. I am so grateful for
this
opportunity that came my way. But
due to
my father's health, I will not be able to join you next week which is the 1st of February. I know it looks a little unprofessional to give
last
-minute notice but I did not have any other choice. My father has to undergo surgery for his leg which we came to know 2 days back, and as per the doctor's suggestion, we have to immediately act up on that.
Along with
that, my mother is not well enough either to look after my father. I am well aware of the fact that your company needs someone in
this
position right away
due to
the constant inclination of sales and demand-supply.
This
is a life-changing opportunity for me.
Hence
, I provide you

my personal and professional duties. Yours sincerely, Gur

Use cohesive linking words accurately and appropriately

Linking words are very important in your essay.

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.

In fact, the only sentences that can omit linking words are your background sentence and thesis.

Linking word examples:

  • firstly
  • secondly
  • thirdly
  • in additional
  • moreover
  • also
  • for example
  • for instance
  • therefore
  • however
  • although
