Dear Mr. Adams,

I am writing to inform you about the Data Analyst position that I will be starting next Monday. However, a problem has arisen.

As you know, I am currently unemployed, and you may recall that I recently graduated from college. Unfortunately, I have to go back to my home country and visit my dad since he suffered a motor vehicle accident. His operation is due next week, and I need to see him and my relatives.

I realise this will be inconvenient to you, but very much hope that, given the circumstances, you would be prepared to allow me to take up my position with you two weeks later than planned.

I would like to emphasise that I remain very keen to work with you, and that I will be gaining further useful experience during this time.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

John Forbes
