Dear Mr Shetty, I hope
this
letter finds you well. I am writing
this
to discuss the change in dates of our lease
due to
unforeseen circumstances that occurred lately. As we agreed, I am supposed to move to my apartment on 02nd July. Unfortunately,
that is
not possible now because my exam schedule has been updated and was released yesterday. My exams were scheduled for the end of June,
however
, it has been postponed. It will commence at the beginning of July,
due to
this
particular reason, I cannot take up the task of moving into a new place during
this
time.
Therefore
, I will push my move-in date ahead. My exams will end on 5th August,
thus
, I can start shifting from the next day. I am willing to pay you the deposit and half of the rent for July in advance for you to keep the room available for me. I apologise for the inconvenience
this
may have caused you.
Furthermore
,we can discuss other arrangements
further
in person at your availability. Regards, Kinnari

Use cohesive linking words accurately and appropriately

Linking words are very important in your essay.

To score effectively on your IELTS exam, you should make an effort to implement short concise sentences coupled with linking words.

Almost every sentence in your essay should have a linking word of some sort.

In fact, the only sentences that can omit linking words are your background sentence and thesis.

Linking word examples:

  • firstly
  • secondly
  • thirdly
  • in additional
  • moreover
  • also
  • for example
  • for instance
  • therefore
  • however
  • although
  • even though
  • despite
