coherence and cohesion
Try to provide a clearer structure to your letter by dividing it into distinct paragraphs - one for the introduction, one for the reason for delay, and one for the request.
task achievement
Make sure to check your writing for spelling and grammatical errors before submission, as 'professor' and 'management' are misspelled.
task achievement
Add a more formal salutation and closing to enhance the overall tone of your letter, as it helps in maintaining a respectful tone.
task achievement
You have successfully introduced yourself and the purpose of your letter.
task achievement
You clearly explained the reason for your delay, which helps the lecturer understand your situation.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
