Dear Mr.Smith:
I am writing to inform you that I cannot be on time to start my job on the first day we have planned.
My father-in-law has been sent to the hospital because of a bad illness and poor condition, pancreas cancer. Not only
this
, but the doctor informed us that his lifespan would not last
more than a month. Therefore
, there are some arrangements the family members should make a consensus on and have to be on the same wavelength, such
as how to take turns taking care of my father-in-law.
However
, I may not make it the day I start my job owing to this
crucial emergency. In light of this
, I would like a two-week extension until the arrangements for the ceremony and the caregiver caring for him are all settled. Therefore
, I believe that I will be able to commence my employment in the next two weeks. Meanwhile, if projects or documents can be dealt with through the Internet, I am more than willing to work on them during my free day.
I sincerely apologize for this
last
-minute information regarding my availability and hope you understand the unexpected circumstances I am facing.
Yours sincerely
Serry
ChangCorrect your spelling
Sorry

task achievement
While the task has been generally achieved, providing more specific information about potential start dates would be beneficial, as well as explicitly stating the job position for clearer context.
