Dear

personal matters

Firstly
, I want to express how excited and eager I am to start this
new position. I had been extensively looking for a similar job and was beyond thrilled to get an offer.

my mother, post surgery
as he will need time to rest and recuperate.

, I could also
study any training materials before I join.
Again, I want to reiterate how excited I am to begin
this
new journey. I look forward to your response and please let me know if you have any questions.
Yours Sincerely,
