Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to let you know that I cannot join my duty at the pre-agreed time on 16th July because
I am sick. I have had an ankle injury after falling from a high hill near my accommodation.
I am not able to move around without walking aids.
Moreover
, my attending orthopaedics wants to observe my situation for more than one week to decide if I will improve on this
management or if he needs to apply a fixation or cast.
Indeed, I am pretty sure I will join the work after two weeks, most likely on June 30, and will work continuously without a break to replace the missing days.
I appreciate your understanding of this
urgent matter.
I look forward to hearing from you and feeling excited to work with you soon.
Yours Sincerely,
Mohamed MonemSubmitted by holamonem79 on
