You are experiencing financial problems and want to ask your landlord if you can pay your rent late. Write a letter to your landlord. In your letter explain: Why you are writing to him Why you cannot pay the rent When you will pay the rent.

Dear Mr Cruz, I am writing to inform you that I will not be able to pay my monthly due for next month.
Due to
the country's economic situation, the company that I have been working for is experiencing a downward trend with their customer orders. With
this
, hundreds of workers including myself have been put on forced leave for the rest of
this
month. Sadly,
due to
this
circumstance, I do not have enough funds to pay for my flat's rent next month. In the meantime, I am doing part-time work in a small cafe downtown. The pay is not much, but it can cover my basic needs, including the rent. As soon as I can get my pay for
this
casual work, I will be able to pay my rent. I hope for your understanding regarding my status and I will be looking forward to your favourable response. Yours sincerely, Ann Smith
