Dear Mr. Johnson,
The main reason why I am writing to
explain
you why I cannot pay the rent on time. Add the preposition
explain to
Also
, I am going to ask if I can pay later.
Last
week, my manager found a huge excess in my reports and he was angry with me. So, he decided to withhold my salary due to
my irresponsibility. My salary was the single source of income. To be honest, I am facing such
financial problems these days.
Unfortunately, I cannot pay it during this
month. However
, I promise I will give it to you next month as soon as possible. Until then
, if you wait for it, I will be pleased and even give you extra payment for your immense goodness.
To ensure my sentences, I am ready to do everything you want. For instance
, I will give you my passport as a pledge. Additionally
, I will write a letter of guarantee if you want. In my opinion, these are enough to prove my statements.
Your
sincerely,
Diana SmithCorrect the word
Yours
