You are due to start new job next week but you will not be able to because you have some problems. Write a letter to your new employeer. In your letter: •Explain your situation •Describe your problems •Tell him or her when you think you can start.
Dear Mr. Johnson,
I am writing to you in order to explain my current situation and request you to supply me with extra time to start my new job.
As you know, I applied to your company to work as a technician and I am supposed
to begin
working there the following week. Unfortunately, I had a fatal accident riding my motorcycle on the highway on the outskirts last
night and broke my left leg seriously.
As the doctor said, it would take me about a month to recover from my injury. In addition
to this
, my dearly loved granny passed away this
early morning. For these reasons, I can not go to work in the near future.
I would be grateful if you could keep my position until I get better. I assure you that I will start my work as soon as I fully recuperate.
I look forward to receiving a positive response from you at your earliest convenience.
Yours sincerely,
Jason BrownieSubmitted by saydusmonovasomiddin94 on
