Dear Mr. Kirstinel,

I am writing this email to inform you that, unfortunately, I won’t be able to start my activities at my new position at Marketing Media Company on Monday 21st as we agreed in our last meeting. I gladly ask you take my apologies before hand , for any inconvenience this situation might cause you.

As I previously mentioned ir our meeting, I am finally finishing all paperwork for my divorce. With a lack of professionalism and without my consent and confirmation, my lawyer had decided to make another court session with my wife to discuss our divorce agreement in the same date I am starting my new job. Since this matter needs to be sorted as soon as possible, I have decided to assist to the session on that date to avoid future inconvenients.

Therefore, I kindly request you the possibility to start working on the day after, which would be on Tuesday 22nd. While both matters are important to me, if you could make this exemption I would have both commitments sorted our favorably.

I look forward to hear from you soon.

yours sincerely,

Valentina
