You are experiencing financial problems and want to ask you landlord if you can pay your rent late. Write a letter to your landlord. In your letter explain. - why you can't pay the rent - when you will pay the rent - How you will ensure you can pay the rent in the future

Dear Mr. Johnson, I am your tenant and have been living in your flat in the city centre for a couple of years.
However
, these days I am having financial problems. That’s why I am writing to you in order to request an extended period of renting. The main reason of delaying is that I crashed my car a few days ago and I had to pay about $ 350 to have it repaired.
Moreover
, I was seriously injured during the accident and needed to go to hospital.
Therefore
, I cannot pay the rent on time. I request you will give me some more days for the payment. I am currently working overtime to be able to cover all my expenses and pay my rent as soon as possible. I assure you that I will defray the rent thoroughly and quickly.
Otherwise
, you can get my latest brand phone as a guarantee if you want. I look forward to hearing from you with a positive response to my letter. Yours sincerely, Charles Atkins
