last
day. There is no one to take care of him.
Moreover

such
as buying groceries. Even though these days are critical for me, I will keep myself updated with all the office information. I would contact one of the employees every day for our upcoming project that needs to be worked on. As
this
requires to be completed within a week, I will assist my team online.
Due to
my absence for a long time, my friend Rohit could join you during
this
period as he possesses the experience and qualifications
this
company needs.
Additionally
, he was an old employee who had worked for over 10 years. I would be most grateful if you could understand my issue. I will return to work as soon as possible after getting home. Thank you for your consideration, Yours faithfully, Parjit Kaur
