First,

I
will not be able to start next Monday as we had arranged. Yesterday, as I was driving back home from the gym, a van went through the red light and hit my car. The impact was so strong that I immediately lost consciousness.
Fortunately, the paramedics arrived quickly. I was taken to the hospital where they detected I have a broken ankle. I admit I feel relieved since the situation could be much more serious. Correct pronoun usage
you I
However
, I will not be able to walk for the next three weeks.

As a consequence
, I would like to ask you if it is possible to postpone the beginning of my training for a month, so I can fully recover. I can send all the medical documents to the Human Resources department to justify my request, if necessary.
Yours faithfully,
Mark JohnsonLinking Words
