day .
Unfortunately, I had a car accident last
week and I got injured a little and my car broke as well , as a result
, I have been busy with medical checks , repairing my car and the insurance paperwork. These issues caused my failure to do the project by the specified deadline .
With this
letter , I wanted to ask you for another week to do the job , I can assure you that the job will be done in this
extra time . That would be a big favour to me and I appreciate your kindness in advance .
