You are due to move into a rented apartment next month but you will not be able to because you have some problems. Write a letter to the landlord. In your letter: •explain your situation •describe your problems •tell him/her when you think you can move in
Dear Madam Maxine,
The reason I am writing to you is to inform you of the obstacles in my moving.
First of all, everything was all right as we agreed, but an unexpected problem occurred. The war has started in our country and now I am with my parents a long distance from my home.
Therefore
, we had to move out and take all the documents and other valuable things with us.
Consequently
, I do not have money or an opportunity to leave the country because I am 27 and borders are closed for men over 18. I really liked your apartment and I wanted to shift as soon as possible. However
, I can't. My family needs support and we have to be together during such
hardships.
For these reasons, I don't think I will arrive in in
the near future, it's just impossible. But I would appreciate it if you could wait a week because we want to move to Poland now. But if it doesn't work, I can pay you some money just for your waiting.
Thank you in advance, I look forward to your reply
