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.

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 Johnson
