You are due to start a new job next week but you will not be able to because you have some problems.

Write a letter to your new employer. In your letter

• explain your situation

• describe your problems

• tell him/her when you think you can start.

SAMPLE ANSWER

Dear Mr Marconi,

I am so delighted to be recruited as a Project Manager in your organisation. I am supposed to start from 1st November, but due to some unavoidable problems, it will take two more weeks. I am hoping that you would be kind enough to consider my situation and allow me to start from 15th November.

My last day with my current employer should have been on 25th October. I have almost finished my tasks on hand and have trained the newly recruited employee so that my transition does not cause any problem. However, my office management has recently requested me to work on a new project that would take me another two weeks. They are so convinced that I should work on this last project and I could not turn their request down.

Considering the circumstance, and since I did not have an alternative, I am writing to request you to let me start my office from 15th of the next month. I would be much obliged to your kind consideration.

I am hoping to hear from you soon regarding this.

Yours faithfully,

Natasa Holmes
