Dear Mr.Brown, I am writing to inform you of a situation that may result in a delay in my arrival for my new position at your company. My name is John Smith and I am supposed to commence my career as a software developer next week.
However
, I have encountered some problems concerning to visa issue process. In spite of being told that my visa would be ready in two weeks, there were some problems with the biometric procedure that led to
this
 delay. I have queried the embassy numerous times but no straightforward answer has been given so far.
Nevertheless
,
according to
 the new measures taken by the embassy, seemingly, the problem will have been obviated until next week and I estimate that I will have received my visa in two weeks.
Therefore
, I predict I will commence my career two weeks later. I am so sorry for the latency and appreciate your patience and courtesy. I will try to keep you posted on every detail of
this
 issue. Best regards, John Smith
