, I am sorry for telling you that I could not start my duty as scheduled

due to

unforeseen circumstances. My mother fell in the bathroom on the 10th of June and her right wrist and hip were fractured. She is now staying in the Hong Kong Hospital and will be discharged next Monday.

According to

the doctor's and therapist's assessment, she requires 1 assistance in doing all daily functional tasks,ranging from toileting and bathing to walking. It may take her 2 to 3 months to be fully recovered.

Therefore

therefore

I could not start my new job on the 3rd of July as scheduled and my earliest reporting day is the
